INTRODUCTION 



il 




HISTORICAL survey of the splendid contribution made by the men 
and women of Knox County toward winning the recent world war 
constitutes a record of which every citizen may and should feel 

M__ proud. It is no idle boast that no city or county in Tennessee gave 
!■ J more in proportion to population and wealth, while there were few 
that responded so readily and so whole-heartedly to every call of 
every kind that was made by either the state or the federal government. 

This unstinted contribution of men, money and materials was the challenge 
of a great democratic people to the forces of world autocracy, a notice that liberty 
was more precious than life, freedom more dear than all the gold the world pos- 
sessed. Blood and money were poured out with the same lavish hand that this 
city and county gave of their dearest treasures in 1861-5 for what they believed 
to be right. The men, who in 1918 stormed the well nigh impregnable ramparts 
of the Hindenburg line or made charge after charge in the Argonne Forest or 
bi^aved the constant dangers of the sea to destroy the submarine scourge, shed 
their blood as freely and were animated with the same patriotic fervor as their 
ancestors who climbed King's Mountain in 1780 and put the British Tories under 
Ferguson to bloody rout. 

This contribution to the war, in cold figures, amounted roughly to more than 
4,000 able-bodied men in the army, navy, marine, air, and other branches of the 
service, of whom over 1-50 made the supreme sacrifice ; subscriptions of close to 
$14,000,000 to the five Liberty Loans and over $2,000,000 to the War Savings 
campaign; donations of $220,000 in cash to the Red Cross; gifts of approximately 
$100,000 to the Y. M. C. A. and $50,000 to the United War Work Committee for 
home and foreign work; and weeks and months of patriotic work without 
compensation by thousands of unselfish men and women at home, doing their 
bit that those who did go across or who were in army camps in the United 
States might have every comfort and attention that was possible away from 
home. Thei'e was never a campaign of any kind, whether for volunteers to fill 
up the ranks or for money for war work, that Knox County did not moi'e than 
"go over the top." 

The bigness, the extent of this patriotic sacrifice, toil and endeavor is the 
justification of this volume. In it the attempt has been made to bind together 
in lasting form, commensurate with these achievements, the record of all war

activities, both military and civilian, of Knox Countians. Every effort has been 
made to make it absolutely fair and impartial, without particle of bias or pre- 
judice in any respect. 

Inevitably errors have been made, but every source of information available 
has been sought and carefully consulted to reduce these mistakes to a minimum. 
The records of the War and Navy Departments at Washington, the military 
archives of the State of Tennessee, the books and records of the draft boards, the 
columns of the daily newspapers, personal letters and diaries, together with other 
historical sources, have been pored over and delved into for months to get every 
shred of information possible in regard to the war activities of Knox Countians. 

Every effort was exhausted to obtain the photographs of all men who saw 
service, realizing that in after years these, with their records attached, will be 
of incalculable interest and value to those of later generations. If the name, 
record of service, or photograph of any man has been omitted, it has been unin- 
tentional and not because every effort has not been made to obtain them. Two 
men of the editorial staff canvassed the city and county for more than two months, 
while advertisements and news notices appeared frequently in the newspapers, 
requesting that this information be given. 

The attempt also was made to give to those who were not privileged to see 
something of the war, as well as to preserve for those who did, a panorama of the 
most striking scenes and events in which the American army engaged. Of the 
several thousand photographs, taken in battle by the representatives of the United 
States Signal Corps, the choicest ones, some two hundred in number, which were 
obtained for illustration of this history, give such a vivid insight into the machin- 
ery of war and how battles were fought that study of them will be more instruc- 
tive than many pages of descriptive matter. They cover nearly every phase of 
warfare on all of the battle fronts. 

It has been a matter of deep regret that most of those who went forth in the 
multifarious branches of government service were so widely scattered that a 
sketch of each of their particular units was impossible. It was found necessary 
to limit these sketches to those organizations which contained a large number of 
men from the city and county. 

This volume, written and compiled with the sole desire to give the historical 
facts by word and picture, both of the war abroad and of the civilian activities at 
home, IS the product of months of labor. It is neither perfect nor complete Such 
a volume can never be. Yet it is more accurate, we believe, than any history 
that can be written or any volume that can be compiled in the future when mem- 
ory has faded many of the participants in these stirring events have moved away 
or died, and the records either have been lost or have crumbled to dust

ASKING CONGRESS FOR A DECLARATION OF WAR 




AMERICA IN THE WAR 



MERICA'S entrance into the bloodiest conflict of all ages was not, 
as in the case of England and France, a hasty step of the moment. 
It came as the culmination of a long series of incidents and national 
injuries at the hands of the Imperial German Government. Its 
roots may be traced back almost three years to the beginning of the 
world war. Since the early days of August, 1914, when the Germans 
shamelessly violated the neutrality of Belgium, ruthlessly put her men, women 
and children to the sword, and brazenly declared that treaties were but scraps of 
paper, many in the United States realized that the day must come sooner or later 
when our government must throw its tremendous strength and resources into 
the balance and take its part in the fight in behalf of humanity and civilization. 

This feeling gained strength steadily in the succeeding months with Germany's 
use of the submarine as an off'ensive weapon of war. On February 10, 1915, 
President Wilson sent the first of his many notes of protest to the German Gov- 
ernment, declaring that he would hold it strictly accountable for the sinking of 
any American merchant vessels. Less than two months later, on May 7, the 
nation was shocked by the sinking, absolutely without warning, of the great 
passenger liner, the Lusitania, with the loss of 1,154 lives, of which 114 were 
American. National sentiment rose to the point of almost demanding a sus- 
pension of diplomatic relations with the Gterman government. 

However, an open break was averted by the latter's promise not to sink passen- 
ger ships in the future without proper warning and without giving their occupants 
an opportunity to escape. The attack on merchant ships, however, was continued, 
aggravating sorely the already inflamed public opinion. This led the State De- 
partment, after President Wilson had laid all the facts before a joint session of 
Congress, to send a direct ultimatum to Berlin, stating that diplomatic intercourse 
would be severed immediately unless its method of submarine warfai'e was aban- 
doned. Immediately a reply was returned, agi'eeing in the main to these demands. 



10 



After the peace negotiations in tlie fall of 1916 proved fruitless, the German 
government, yielding to the advice of its military party that this course would 
put the war to a speedy end, announced on January 31, 1917, that unrestricted 
submarine warfare would be carried on in specified zones. Four days later 
Ambassador BernstorfF was handed his passports and our friendly relations with 
Germany ceased. On February 26 President Wilson asked for authority to arm 
merchant vessels as a protection against submarine attacks. A few days after, 
he appeared before a memorable joint session of the Congress, set forth the 
attempts he had made to maintain friendly relations with Germany, and asked 
that the existence of a state of war between the two nations be declared. 

On April 4, 1917, the Senate passed the war resolution by a vote of 82 to 6, 
while the House of Representatives, after a wild and stormy session which lasted 
until 3 o'clock on the morning of April 6, also adopted it by a vote of 373 to 50. 
The president affixed his signature to the resolution the same day. Its text was 
as follows: 

"Whereas, the Imperial German government has committed repeated 
acts of war against the government and the people of the United States, 
therefore, be it 

"Resolved, by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in congress assembled, that the state of war between 
the United States and the Imperial German government, which has thus 
been thrust upon the United States, is hereby formally declared; and 
that the President be and is hereby authorized and dii-ected to employ 
the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the re- 
sources of the government to carry on war against the Imperial German 
government; and to bring the conflict to a successful termination, and 
all the resources of the government are hereby pledged by the Congress 
of the United States." 

The whole energy of the government from that day was devoted to war 
measures and war demands. Our army and navy were pitifully inadequate. In 
the belief that we were independent of European broils, they had been maintained 
upon a peace basis and used merely for purposes of policing our home and island 
possessions. With 3,000 miles of water between us and the neai-est great nation, 
they were thought amply sufficient to guard us from all aggression. 

Our army, scattered over thousands of miles, numbered about 190,000 men, 
while our annual appropriation for its maintenance reached a little more than 
$100,000,000. In the nineteen months between the declaration of war and the 
conclusion of the armistice, it grew in numbers to 3,66.5,000 men, of whom more 
than 2,000,000 were in France. The fiscal appropriation for the maintenance of 
this military establishment from June 30, 1918, to June 30, 1919, aggregated 
$15,300,000,000. The growth of the navy was almost in proportion to that of the 
army. On April 5, 1917, about 250 vessels were under the control and operation 
of the navy department. At the close of the war, this number had grown to 
1,990 vessels. There were 5,000 officers and 70,000 enlisted men of the navy 
serving in European waters alone when the war ended. This was a greater 
number than the full strength of the navy before we commenced hostilities. Our 
merchant marine, an adjunct of the navy, was even more marvelous in its growth 
under the stress of national necessity and war conditions. The production of 
merchant ships was at the rate of about 70,000 gross tons monthly in April, 1917. 
Most of these flew the flags of other nations. Nineteen months later our ship 
yards along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts had expanded under governmental 
management until their production was at the rate of 350,000 gross tons a 
month. Our tonnage threatened England's supremacy of the seas. 

To furnish an ample supply of men and officers for the land forces, the 
national guards of the different states of the union were called into federal ser- 
vice, fifteen camps for the special training of officers were established, enlistment

n 



of men to increase the strength of the regular army and navy was speeded up, 
while the passage of the Selective Service Act on May 18, 1917, provided millions 
of men to follow in the national army divisions. 

Nearly 10,000,000 men between the ages of 21 to 30 registered under the first 
call on June 5, 1917; the second registration on June 5, 1918, provided 744,865 
men; the third on August 24, 1918, yielded 157,963 men. By a later enactment, 
the draft ages were extended to include all men between the ages of 18 and 45. 
None of the latter, however, was ever called to the colors, though about 13,000,000 
registered on September 12, 1918. The end of the war came before they were 
needed. Thirty-six camps and cantonments were erected at suitable locations 
througliout the country to house, train and ecjuip the men in the various branches 
of the military and naval service. 

Shortly after the declaration of war, John J. Pershing, then a brigadier-general 
in charge of the American forces operating against the Mexican bandit. Villa, 
was called to Washington and made commander-in-chief of the American Expe- 
ditionary Forces. With a small staff of picked officers, he reached France early 
in June, 1917, and set about the tremendous task of laying the broad foundation 
for the army of millions which was to follow. Vice-Admiral Sims, who was in- 
trusted with supreme command of our naval forces in European waters, had 
arrived in England somewhat earlier, accompanied by a fleet of American destroy- 
ers, stripped for action against the German undersea terrors. His task was to 
cooperate with the British fleet in the elimination of the submarines, then at the 
high water mark of their nefarious warfare, and to work out a convoy system 
for the troop transports bearing American soldiers to French ports. 

After a thorough study at first hand of the British and French systems of 
warfare and the organization of their armies. General Pershing revised the com- 
position of our forces, increasing the strength of a division from about 14,000 to 
28,000 men, and adding to it units made necessary by the refinements of four 
years of intensive fighting. He obtained French and British officers and non- 
commissioned officers to assist in the training of the American forces which had 
not yet been brought over. He also built up his general staft' system, so necessary 
to the efficient functioning of large bodies of troops. 

Meanwhile, American engineers had begun the construction of great docks 
at the ports of St. Nazaire, Brest, Bordeaux and Le Havre ; miles of railroads 
were laid; machine shops and storage depots were constructed, while training 
areas for the divisions as they arrived from America were laid out back of the 
battle zone. It was found beneficial for them to spend six weeks to two months 
in these areas in intensive training before going into quiet sectors for their first 
taste of actual warfare. 

The eastern front of the battle line, extending roughly from the western edge 
of the Argonne Forest to the Swiss border, was agreed upon as the sector which 
the American army should occupy when it had grown to its full strength and 
received its proper training. The plan was that the Belgians should defend the 
noi-thern end of the line, the British, with the Channel ports at their back for 
supplies from England, were to hold a wide stretch southward and join the 
French forces, which, with Paris at their rear, were to link up with the Amer- 
icans east of Rheims. 

Of some of the necessary implements of modern warfare, the new American 
army had practically nothing in the way of equipment. This was particularly 
true of artillery, aviation and tanks, all of which were highly essential for offen- 
sive operations. By arrangement with the French government. General Persh- 
ing obtained from its factories enough artillery to furnish thirty divisions. These 
guns were the 75 and 155 millimeter rifles and the 155 millimeter howitzers.

Manufacture of these guns was started almost simultaneously in American fac- 
tories, but few more than 100 had been completed and passed all tests befoi'e the 
war ended. In aviation, the situation was little better. Our program, which 
started off with bright prospects, fell down. The French came to our rescue and 
supplied our aviators with the different kinds of planes necessary for warfare 
until our reorganized air program had materialized. The first squadron, com- 
pletely equipped with American planes, took the air early in August, 1918. The 
Liberty motor, designed by American engineers, made our planes of certain de- 
signs the best on the front. Had the war lasted a few months longer, our suprem- 
acy in the air would have been overwhelming. The same condition applied in 
regard to tanks as in aviation and artillery. The French supplied our bare 
needs until American factories could furnish them in quantity production. 



i = 



While General Pershing was engaged abroad in these preparations for our 
army, equally strenuous efforts were being made at home on a large scale during 
the summer and fall months of 1917. All agencies and departments of the gov- 
ernment were organized for the building of an efficient war machine, while the 
business interests of the nation were reorganized on a war basis. Huge contracts 
for supplies of all kinds were let; the output of hundreds of factories was taken 
as a whole by the government; the iron and steel mills of the country were con- 
verted virtually into great ordnance arsenals for the manufactui-e of powder, 
guns, shells, and other war munitions. A great ship building program was 
launched to provide vessels to carry our soldiers and supplies to France; many 
vital agencies, including the railroad, telegraph, telephone and cable lines were 
put under governmental control ; the food and fuel control bill, designed to con- 
serve our supply of food and coal so as to meet both our owai domestic needs and 
the requirements of our allies, was passed. More than a million men wei'e in 
training camps, learning the fundamentals of military discipline and tactics. 

The first Liberty Loan in June, 1917, provided $2,000,000,000 for war needs; 
the second in October, of the same year, yielded an additional .$.3,000,000,000; the 
third in May, 1918, provided the same amount of i-evenue; the fourth in October, 
1918, provided $6,000,000,000; while the final one in May, 1919. yielded 
.$4,500,000,000. All of these were largely oversubscribed on each call from the 
Treasury. In addition to these sources of revenue, the congress passed income, 
excess profits, and other forms of tax bills which yielded other billions directly 
for the support of the war. 



^ 



Before the end of 1917, five full American divisions had reached France. They 
were the First and Second Regulars, the Twenty-sixth National Guard Division 
from New England, the Forty-first National Guard Division from the Pacific 
coast, and the Forty-second Division, made up from the national guards of 26 
states. By the end of October, some of the more seasoned men, who had come 
across as early as .June, were sent into a quiet sector in the Vosges Mountains 
near the Swiss border. There in the early days of November, the first American 
blood was spilled in a clash with German soldiers. Privates Enright, Gi-esham 
and Hay were killed in a patrol encounter. During the latter part of the same 
month, American engineers, armed with spades and rifles, helped to repel the 
German counter-attacks in the operations around Cambrai. 



The latter part of 1917 and the spring months of 1918 were dark days for 
the allied cause. Russia, which had been a bulwark on the eastern frontier by 
attacks on the Central Powers w-henever the latter pushed forward in the west, 
definitely dropped out of the war. Italy crumbled under the assaults of the 
Austrians and fell back far into her own territory. France and England had their 
backs to the wall with the cream of the German army pitted against them. The 
German submarines were playing havoc with their shipping upon the seas and 
threatening them with starvation. The European members of the allied cause,

TITTTT 



therefoie, were ready to quit or to accept almost any kind of a compi'omise in 
order to obtain peace. Their fighting morale, their resources in men, money, 
and supplies were at low ebb. German propaganda, sifting through in insidious 
ways, had neai-ly sapped their fighting vitality. 

Under these depressing circumstances General Pershing worked day and night 
to bolster up the situation until his army arrived. Tremendous pressure was 
brought to bear upon him by both the English and French, who were apprehensive 
of the fighting qualities of the American soldiers, to consolidate his divisions 
and their organizations, as they arrived in France, with units of their armies, to 
use his forces as replacements for their own troops, and not to train an indepen- 
dent army which should have a definite sector of the battle front. Each of them 
was striving to obtain certain advantages which would accrue to them by union 
of the Americans with them. Each was still acting independently of the other 
in operations against the common foe, for necessity had not yet driven them to 
selection of Marshal Foch as Commander-in-Chief of all the allied armies. 

To this policy of consolidation General Pershing gave a decidedly negative 
answer. He was determined that the American army should not play "second 
fiddle" to any in Europe. He believed it best to avoid such an entangling alliance. 
He knew that by the summer or fall of 1918 he would have sufficient troops, 
trained under battle conditions, to constitute an integral force, able to take the 
offensive in every respect, and to cope with any class of foe they drew sword 
against. 

The storm of the supreme German oifensive, heralded in Berlin as the begin- 
ning of the end of the war, and announced on the battle front with an artillery 
preparation that blew everything in front of it to atoms, broke in Picardy on 
March 21, 1918. The English were overwhelmed, and the wedge between the 
British and French armies, which was the objective of the drive, came near 
becoming an actuality. Under the stress of the situation which this crisis 
produced, occupation of a definite American sector was postponed temporarily. 
On March 28, General Pershing tendered to Marshal Foch, who had been agreed 
upon the day previous as supreme commander of the allied forces in France, his 
whole army, consisting of 343,000 men, for use as the need of the hour demanded. 
During April and the early part of May, the majority of them were sent to quiet 
sectors to relieve veteran French and English divisions, which were needed at 
the more critical points of the German attack. As they cpickly showed their 
mettle, and the need for fresh troops became more acute, the Americans were 
thrust into the thickest and hottest of the battle in late May and June, when the 
Germans launched their drive to reach Paris. 

The First Division had the honor of making the first distinctly American 
attack in the war. On May 28, it assaulted the German frontal positions in the 
Montdidier salient and swept forward to the capture of the town of Cantigny. 
They held it against all counter-attacks. This action, though local in its scope, 
had the electrical efl^ect of stimulating the nerves of the weary French, who had 
waited so long for an active participation of the Americans in the van of the 
fighting. The Germans also were given an inkling of the American fighting 
qualities, which had been scoffed at in Berlin by the military party in order to 
minimize the importance of our participation in the war. 

A few days later, the Second Division, including the Marines, was hurried 
up to help check the advance of the Germans in the Aisne-Marne salient. They 
not only held the best Prussian Guard divisions, but recaptured from them the 
town and railroad station at Bouresches. At Belleau Woods, which followed, 
the feats of the Americans amazed both friend and foe. The Germans were 
e.xpelled from the woods with heavy losses and thrown back 900 yards on their 
front. Meanwhile, the Third Division had been in action on the Marne. Its 




17 




18 



machine gunnei-s, brought up hurriedly from a training area, were thrown into 
the thick of the fray by assignment to the task of holding the bridge-head on the 
Marne at Chateau-Thierry. By the latter part of June, the force of the German 
drive had been exhausted in the Marne salient, and the enemy rested for the 
final spring he was preparing to make at Paris, the heart of France, and the 
center of her resistance. 

The German plan to exhaust all resources and all men in a final huge effort 
to crush the British and French, capture Paris, and end the war before the full 
American strength could be brought to the rescue, had been evident for some 
time. The reserves on both sides were dwindling fast. Under the spur of neces- 
sity, a meeting of the allied premiers, together with General Pershing, was held 
at Abbeville, France, on May 2, at which the British agreed to place at the dis- 
posal of the United States all the ships necessary to transport immediately ten 
or more divisions. These were to be held in reserve while training, yet ready to 
be thrown into the line at any time necessity demanded. With this aid from the 
British, more than 500,000 first-class combat troops reached France from the 
United States in June and July. 

The final offensive of the Germans was launched on July 1-5. The American 
troops, who had gone through their baptism of fire and had their mettle tested in 
the offensive of the previous month, were placed at the very apex of the German 
thrust in the Marne salient in the Chateau-Thierry district. They met charge 
after charge for three days, breaking wave after wave of attack. On the morn- 
ing of the fourth day, July 18, which mai-ked the turn in the tide of allied 
fortunes, they sprung forward as a part of the great counter-offensive of Marshal 
Foch, which ended two weeks later in the complete reduction of the Marne salient 
and the capture of more than 25,000 prisoners, 750 guns, and large stores by the 
American troops engaged. 

In this pivotal battle of the war, after which the glory of German arms waned 
and the sun of Hun military supremacy quickly set, eight American divisions, 
totalling about 225,000 combat troops, took part. They were the First, Second, 
Third and Fourth Regular Divisions, and the Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth, 
Thirty-second, and Forty-second National Guard Divisions. Without them the 
French could never have launched a counter-offensive. Without their inspiring 
courage and fierce initiative, it is doubtful whether Paris could have been saved. 
The aid of American troops in these crucial two months marked another of those 
periods, occurring more than once during the four years of the war, in which 
the fate of the allied cause hung by a thread and defeat was staved off by a hair. 

Marshal Foch had delivered a master stroke in making the counter-offensive 
stroke on July 18. Not only was the impending danger averted and Paris saved, 
but the offensive had been wi'ested from the hands of the Germans. They were 
thrown back on the defensive, with tremendous loss of morale to their troops and 
to the people in Germany. 

This stroke also enabled General Pershing to withdraw his veteran troops from 
the line and concentrate them, together with those divisions which had arrived 
in June and July, in the Toul sector for the forthcoming offensive against the 
St. Mihiel salient. The Thirtieth and Twenty-seventh Divisions only were left 
to cooperate with the British in Belgium and Flanders and to assist them two 
months later in the breaking of the Hindenburg line at its toughest and most 
vital point along the St. Quentin Canal. 

The formal organization of the First American Army under the personal 
command of General Pershing was made on August 10. The sector allotted for 
the first offensive on a large scale by an independent American force extended 
roughly from a point southeast of Verdun, around the nose of the St. Mihiel

salient, and thence east to the Moselle River. The front was about forty miles. 
The attack was to be in the form of a surprise, and all operations and prepara- 
tions previous to it, therefore, had to be made by night. They involved a tre- 
mendous amount of work of the most delicate nature. It was necessary to bring 
several divisions from their training areas in the western part of France, a dis- 
tance of several hundred miles. In addition to the fourteen American combat 
divisions, which were to be used directly in the operations or held in reserve, it 
was necessary to have thousands of corps and army troops, ambulance units, 
hospital sections, and other auxiliary parts of a complete army. " The whole num- 
ber of men to be engaged in one capacity or another brought the total up to 
approximately 600,000 men. 

The artillery concentration was especially noteworthy. With the guns loaned 
by the French, the Germans were notably outclassed in artillery of all calibers. 
Thi'ee huge naval guns, brought from the United States and mounted upon rail- 
road trucks, held Metz and all the strategic points in the rear of the German 
lines in their range. The superiority of the Americans in the air was quite as 
decided as in artillery. Both Fi-ench and English contributed some of their best 
squadrons of bombing, observation, and scout aeroplanes. 

The attack started at one o'clock on the morning of September 12, 1918, vnth 
a four hours' bombardment of towns, strong points, and shelters held by the 
Germans. At five o'clock the artillery laid down an intense barrage on the' front 
line trenches of the enemy, lifting each four minutes and advancing about one 
hundred yards ahead of our infantry. The Germans, bewildered by the intensity 
and volume of our artillery fire, and astounded by the waves of fresh, young, and 
vigorous American troops, made but little resistance, except with machine guns. 
Within little more than twenty-four hours, the line had been advanced eight to 
ten miles at points, St. Mihiel had been retaken, the nose of the salient pinched 
off, and a new, straight line, running from Pont-a-Mousson through Thiaucourt, 
Vigneulles, and Fresnes up to Verdun had been formed. What the French had 
tried to accomplish unsuccessfully through four years of fighting at the loss of 
thousands of men. General Pershing with his new army had done successfully 
in little more than a day. 

The booty was heavy. More than 16,000 prisoners were captured, about 450 
guns of many calibers were taken, a great quantity of valuable material and 
supplies fell into our hands, more than a score of French villages and towns 
were released from German domination. Metz, the western hinge of the German 
army, was brought under the threat of our guns and put in danger of being 
flanked. The American losses were extremely slight, about 7,000, most of which 
were light casualties. 

Upon the heels of this brilliant accomplishment, the Thirtieth Division, com- 
posed of the national guard troops of Tennessee and the Carolinas, and the 
Twenty-seventh Division, of New York, cooperating with the British and Aus- 
tralians, smote the Germans another decisive blow by breaking through the 
hitherto impregnable Hindenburg line where the St. Quentin Canal passes through 
a tunnel under a ridge near Cambrai. Preceded by a galling artillery fire and 
a strong array of British tanks, the guardsmen impetuously gained all their 
objectives and took thousands of prisoners. They continued their pursuit of the 
Germans until relieved on October 19 to recuperate and obtain replacements. 
Their advance covered about 18 miles. 

Less than seventy-two hours after the opening gun in the St. Mihiel drive had 
been fired. General Pershing, leaving a thin defensive line to hold the gains he 
had made, began, under the cover of night and with the greatest secrecy, the 
withdrawal of the greater part of his troops for use in what proved to be the 
greatest battle in American history.

The main artery of supply for the German army on the western front south 
of the Sambre River was a four-track railroad line running through Sedan and 
Mezieres. It also joined with the network of lines around Metz, supplying the 
German troops in Lorraine. Over this they hauled, in a line almost parallel to 
the front, their supplies, artillei-y, ammunition, fresh divisions, and carried hack 
to hospitals in the rear their sick and wounded. The mobility afforded by this 
system of railroads had given them a great advantage over the allies, because 
they could rush reserves on short notice from one sector to another, or quickly 
make a strong concentration of troops at any point for a mass attack. 

To lose this vital artery of communication meant either that Germany must 
surrender, or that she must withdraw all her armies from French soil at a loss 
by capture of thousands of men and invaluable stores. To safeguard it, her army 
had built the Kremhilde Stellung, an almost impenetrable mass of barbed wire, 
trenches and concrete strong points. 

The strategic advantage, therefore, of cutting and capturing this pivotal point 
of the German lines was almost incalculable. The difficulties corresponding w^ere 
almost as great. The region to be penetrated in gaining the objective was, in 
part, a forest, in part wooded hills and valleys, admirably adapted to a sturdy 
defense by machine guns and artillery. Furthermore, there was little time to 
make adequate preparation for the attack. Between September 14, when the 
withdrawal from the St. Mihiel sector commenced, and September 26, when the 
Argonne drive began, there were but twelve nights to move several divisions 
more than 100 miles, bring up light and heavy artillery, establish hospitals, pre- 
pare ammunition dumps, assemble transport, and do the thousand other things 
that are necessary for a great attack. Only those who went through this stren- 
uous period can realize the strain and physical weariness that it entailed. To add 
to the difficulties of the task, the rains and the cold autumn nights had begun. 

If the attack did not succeed, then General Pershing faced a campaign in the 
spring of 1919, with double the toll of dead and wounded. He also was con- 
fronted with removal from command if he made a failure. In spite of the diffi- 
culties he knew he must encounter and the heavy casualties he was certain his 
army must suffer, he seized the opportunity to deal a death blow at the heart of 
German resistance and put an end to the war before winter began. 

The American line of battle extended from the Meuse on the east to near the 
western edge of the Argonne Forest. Nine divisions were in the line, while six 
were held in reserve. Of those to make the attack, only two had had much battle 
experience. The others were participating for the first time in a great oifensive. 
The attack, preceded, as in the St. Mihiel drive, by a heavy artillery bombard- 
ment from hundreds of guns of all calibers, began in the early hours of Septem- 
ber 26. With the coming of daylight, the infantry went over the top behind a 
heavy shell and smoke barrage. After clearing the old German trenches, they 
made steady progress during the day, advancing to a depth of seven or eight 
miles at points. The bag of prisoners taken in this initial stage of the offensive 
amounted to about 10,000. 

The enemy was caught off his guard and surprised. But when the scope of 
the blow became visible and he saw its true objective, reserve divisions, drawn 
from other fronts and amply provided with machine guns and artillei'y, were 
thrown in to stem the tide. They held for a few days after the initial force of 
the attack had exhausted itself. Time was necessary for the American command 
to make roads across the old trenches, bring up supplies, run artillery and 
ammunition forward to support the infantry, and prepare for a farther advance. 

This second phase of the battle of the Argonne Forest began with an attack 
along the whole sector on October 4. New divisions had arrived to take the 
place of those which had suft"ered heavily in casualties or were exhausted in the 
primary drive. The next three weeks saw the most prolonged and bitter fighting

MARSHAL JOFFRE AT TOMB OF WASHINGTON 

The representatives of France as guests o£ the nation joined in paying homage to George Wash-

the tomb of the First President, spolse with deep emotion of the common fight for freedom which 
France and America were taking part in. Marshal Joffre laid on the marble sarcophagus, a plain 
bronze palm wound with the French tri-color.

in which American troops ever engaged. Progress was made almost by yards, for 
by now the enemy had brought up the best of his divisions for the defense of this 
vital sector. They were drawTi from the British and French fronts, thereby 
accounting for the very rapid advance of our allies in the last days of the war. 
Our losses in this second stage were extremely heavy, but when one division was 
exhausted. General Pershing shoved in another. On account of the scarcity of 
fresh troops, some divisions went in twice. More than a dozen were necessary 
to beat down the resistance on the high land between the Meuse and Aire Rivers 
and capture Grand Pre, Bantheville, and Brieulles. 

The final and supreme phase of the attack began on the morning of November 
1. The progress was much faster, due to more favorable tei'ram and the presence 
of an increased amount of American artillery. The pursuit became so fast that 
motor trucks were used to overtake the enemy and surround him before his 
escape. On the morning of November 6, the Forty-second, or Rainbow Division, 
was ready to enter Sedan, but waited a few hours to give this special privilege to 
the French who were on our left flank. The objective had been reached and the 
line of communication had been cut. The other units of the First Army, how- 
ever, drove on in a northeasterly direction toward Montmedy and Stenay, and all 
of them had crossed the Meuse when the armistice bi'ought hostilities to a close on 
November 11. 

Had the fighting not stopped at this time, the Germans would have been sub- 
jected to another blow at the hands of the Second American Army, formed under 
the command of Lieutenant-General Bullard, who launched an attack on a wide 
front on the morning of November 11, with the Briey coal fields as its 
objective. The First Army, under Lieutenant-General Liggett, was to continue 
simultaneously its advance toward Longwy. These operations were to be fol- 
lowed by an offensive which would have isolated Metz. 

The end of the war found our forces well exhausted, our resources for further 
campaigning stretched to the utmost. Our casualties in the six weeks of the 
Argonne ofl'ensive were close to 150,000 men, while the number who were engaged 
at one time or another in its diff'erent phases was more than 1,000,000. The 
Germans did not have so many men, but they used their very best divisions. 
More than one-third of their total strength under arms was drawn upon and 
gradually exhausted in the attempt to stem the American advance. 

Though our strength had been put to a severe test, there was an inexhaustible 
reservoir of men in America who were coming over at the rate of 200,000 monthly 
to fill the gaps from casualties. More than 1,000,000 men were in training camps 
at home, ready for service when needed. No resort had been made to the huge 
numbers of men available by the extension of the draft ages from 18 to 45. The 
machinery was in operation to call them to the colors as needed. The cessation 
of hostilities came before any of them was sent to camp. 

Forty-two complete combat divisions were oversea on November 11, 1918. 
Twenty-nine of these savv^ service as units upon the battle front. They were the 
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th regulars, the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, .30th, 32nd, 
33rd, 35th, 36th, 37th, and 42nd national guard and the 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 
81st, 82nd, 88th, 89th, 90th, 91st, and 92nd national army divisions. Two divis- 
ions, the 34th and 38th, were in reserve behind the front. Nine other divisions, 
the 39th, 40th, 41st, 76th, 83rd, 84th, 85th, 86th, and 87th, were either used as 
depot divisions from which to fill the gaps at the front or to maintain the lines 
of communication and supply in the rear. Two divisions, the 8th and 31st, had 
just landed in France when hostilities ceased. 

After the armistice, nine divisions were sent forward to the Rhine as a part 
of the allied army of occupation. They held the bridgehead and area around 
Coblenz, Germany. The remainder of the combat troops was sent back to train-

ing areas in the center of France, where military schedules to maintain military 
discipline were kept up until transports arrived to return them to the United 
States. Wounded and sick men were sent first, and the transportation of divis- 
ional units did not start until early in 1919. A constant stream, reaching a max- 
imum of 300,000 men monthly, flowed back across the Atlantic during the spring 
and summer months. Battleships, German liners, and leased tonnage speeded 
the American evacuation of France and the home-coming of the men as much as 
possible. 

Whether or not American troops won the war is a mooted question. There 
has been a disposition abroad to belittle the military effort of the United States, 
in fact, the whole part played by this nation in the titanic struggle against the 
Central Powers. Yet when the end came, France alone had moi'e troops upon 
the front or held more of the battle line. There were 200,000 more Americans 
than English engaged in France on the day of the armistice. Of this, at least, 
there can be no doubt — the decisive blow struck by the American armies in the 
Argonne Forest prevented the prolongation of the war another year. It was the 
stroke that brought the German military party to its knees and caused it to beg 
for and accept an armistice so severe in its terms that they were little short of 
those which would have been exacted under an unconditional surrender. 

Great as were our achievements on land and sea in the last few months of the 
war, our army and navy would not have reached their maximum sti'ength until 
1919. Our varied war enterprises were just coming to fruition when the war 
ceased. Quantity production of artillery, ammunition, aeroplanes, tractors, 
machine guns, merchant vessels, and the numerous other necessities of war had 
merely begun. Our governmental machine, after many false starts, delays and 
mistakes, was just beginning to function properly. The giant of the western 
hemisphere had merely given a token of the latent strength that he possessed. 
This token, however, was sufficient to turn defeat into victory and to establish 
the supremacy of American democracy over Prussian autocracy.

GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING 



With the din of battle barely hushed, it is yet too early to gauge accurately 
how lofty a niche General Pershing will occupy in the Hall of Fame. Yet what 
he wrought, the myriad difficulties he encountered, the almost insurmountable 
obstacles he overcame, and the success he won as commander-in-chief, in the great- 
est war of all times, of the largest army ever gathered under the American flag — 
of these things there can be no doubt. 

"Boys, let's get where we are going" was his favorite expression as a student 
at West Point. That spirit has typified his whole military career. Whether 
pursuing Indians across the scorching plains and arid mountains of the West; 
quelling rebellious, insurgent Moros in the Philippines; leading the bandit Villa 
in a long and heart-breaking chase across the parched wastes of Mexico; or 
breaking the back of the German army in the Argonne Foi-est — in all these 
strenuous campaigns he cut through the mass of detail and tangle of red tape 
and drove straight to the heart of the task he had been set to do. 

Chosen to lead the American forces abi'oad, he quickly picked a corps of the 
best trained officers in our army and set out to France in May, 1917. He cut 
short the social and diplomatic side of the trip and plunged immediately into the 
serious business of laying the foundation for the huge army which was to follow. 
With the aid of his staff, he rebuilt, first of all, the whole organization of our 
army, planned it on a scale of millions instead of thousands, and adapted its 
course of training to the new methods of warfare. With his engineers he then 
set about the construction of miles of docks at the French ports, the dredging of 
harbors, and the erection of great warehouses to receive the avalanche of clothing, 
food, ammunition, aeroplanes, trucks, and other supplies that were soon to be on 
their way over. 

At the same time problems of a far different nature were pressing upon him. 
The latter part of 1917 and the spring months of 1918 were dark days for the 
Allies. They were ready to quit, to make a compromise peace. The gloom of 
defeat hung over them and their armies. Wearied with this spirit. General 
Pershing one day burst out in a statement characteristically brief: "Germany 
can be beaten, Germany must and will be beaten. Let every soldier paste that in 
his cap lest he forget why he is in France." 

He was right. Seasoned by a few weeks of training in quiet sectors, he 
gathered six divisions early in July, 1918, to stem the Hun attack on Paris. They 
met the brunt of it, drove the flower of the Prussian guards back across the 
Marne, and compelled them to evacuate the whole Marne salient. The fighting 
stamina of the French stiffened, the ebbing morale of the British returned, the 
Allies saw the truth of Pershing's statement. A few weeks later he gave the 
world a revelation of American fighting qualities when he wiped out in 72 hours 
with the First American Army the St. Mihiel salient, which had been a thorn 
in the side of the French for more than four years. Twelve days later, with 
lightning-like rapidity, he struck again at the hai'dest and most vital part of the 
German line, the Argonne Forest, which the French had said was unconquerable. 
Through its tangles and mazes, over almost insuperable barriers, Pershing drove 
division after division until he had pierced in little more than six weeks the 
heart of the German lines of communication through Sedan, Stenay and Mont- 
medy. Then the Huns quit. 

True to his West Point expression, he had gotten where he was going — to 
victory over the greatest military machine that had ever been built. His purpose 
had been realized, for the American army had become a great, compact, self- 
reliant unit, capable of independent, offensive action, more than 2,000,000 in 
strength, tempered and seasoned by weeks of the most bitter fighting. 

Withal, he was very human. His passion was the welfare of the men in the 
ranks, "the ninety-five per cent," as he called them. His admiration for their 
fortitude under all circumstances was unceasing, his care and watchfulness over 
their health, their comfort, and their pleasures are recorded in dozens of orders 
issued from his headquarters. This was his tribute to them in the final sentence 
of his report upon the army's operations: "When I think of their heroism, their 
patience under hardships, their unflinching spirit of offensive action, I am filled 
with emotion which I am unable to express."

On May 4, 1917. just twenty-eight days after the United States declared war for- 
mally on Germany. Admiral Sims, commandinp a fleet of American destroyers in fir^t- 
class fighting trim, stepped on land at Queenstown, England. From that day until i-he 
early months of 1919, when he returned home, laden with the honors of foreign gov- 
ernments, to be assigned to other duty, he was in supreme command of the American 
fleet in European waters. In the eighteen months the fleet was in the war, more vhan 
two million soldiers were convoyed in safety across the Atlantic, billions of dollars' 
worth of food and other supplies for these troops and the inhabitants of Europe were 
transported ovei-sea with minor loss, while not a few of the Hun undersea pirates 
were sunk by our navy. The flag of our fleet was in evidence from the Mediterrane:in 
to the White Sea, at Gibraltar, in the Bay of Biscay, along the English and Irish 
coasts, in the North Sea, and at Archangel and Murmansk. When the war ended, 
our navy in European waters comprised 338 vessels, manned by 75,000 men and officers. 
This was a force larger than the entire American fleet before the war began. Credit 
for the efficiency of this tremendous array of naval craft and the remarkable results 
that it accomplished has been attributed largely to Admiral Sims. In addition to being 
responsible persanally for its operations, he also had the highly delicate task of co- 
ordinating its work with that of the British High Fleet. This required not only tech- 
nical ability of the highest order, but a very keen knowledge of European and British 
diplomacy. Admiral Sims has held nearly every high post in American naval circles. 
He has been naval attache at Paris, head of the naval department of gunnery, where 
he improved wonderfully the marksmanship of all our fighting vessels ; commander of 
the American fleet; while his latest assignment is as head of the Naval College at 
Newport, from which the plans and preparations for the improvement and enlargement 
of our sea forays will be worked out.

GENERAL PEYTON C. MARCH 



The lot of General March as chief of staff of the War Department was a most 
difficult role, and yet one without the glamor or glory which field officers of lesser 
rank received for service in the fighting- line. His task was to mobilize, equip and 
train the divisions before they went to France, as well as to supply them from the 
United States after they arrived oversea. Before he was called to Washington, Gen- 
eral March had made a wide reputation as a field artilleryman. He had shown execu- 
tive ability of a high order in ail the posts to which he had been assigned. He was a 
graduate of West Point and thoroughly abreast of all the developments of three years 
of fighting in Europe. As a student at the army staff and war colleges, he made a 
fine record. War came, opportunity knocked, and he was advanced three grades to 
the rank of full general. General Pershing and General Bliss were the only other 
American officers who attained this rank during the war. Many of the same obstacles 
and difficulties that worried General Pershing in France also were stumbling blocks 
and problems for General March. T'he expansion of our army from less than 200,000 
to 3,500.000 : the clothing, food, guns, rifles, and other necessaries to equip these men ; 
the most feasible manner of raising these millions with least disturbanc"e to the in- 
dustries of the country ; the immense number of records and the huge amount of data 
that the maintenance of a large army requires ; the immediate fulfillment of all the 
needs and requirements of the army abroad ; the tactful handling of domestic military 
problems and the distribution of war news^these were among some of the large 
questions and problems that came to General March for solution. They required a 
cool, quick brain and the grasp of a man of great affairs. General March fulfilled 
the i-equirements of the hour.

"H 



OW sleep the brave, -who sink to rest, 
By all their country's -wishes blessed ! 

When Spring, with dewy fingers cold. 
Returns to deck their hallowed mould. 

She there shall dress a sweeter sod 
Than fancy's feet have ever trod. 



By fairy hands their knell is rung; 

By forms unseen their dirge is sung; 
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray. 

To bless the turf that wraps their clay; 
And Freedom shall a while repair 

To dwell a weeping hermit there! "

F all books this one seems least to need a dedication. Are not the supreme 
sacrifices of the dead of Knox County inscribed upon the imperishable 
tablets of our hearts? Are not the heroic deeds of the living enshrined 
forever in our memories? Yet of all books no one more richly deserves 
a proper dedication. The men and women whose names are inscribed herein be- 
long to no ordinary race. The blood of the heroes and heroines of other stirring 
days ran into their veins and felt at home. The mantle of an honorable and 
glorious past fell upon their shoulders; it has been worn worthily and kept 
unstained. 

No words of mine or any other are needed to enhance the lustre of their fame. 
They have imprinted on history's most golden page a record of glory in their 
deeds; and what they have written, they have written. But it is altogether 
fitting and proper that we pay honor to whom honor is due, and that we should 
here set down some expression of our great love and pride for and in these men 
and women of Knox County. In our courthouse yard is a plain, but stately 
monument erected to John Sevier. Upon it is the inscription: "35 battles — 35 
victories." Let us go and chisel upon that sacred marble the story of yet another 
triumph I For the great spirit of Sevier still flames in the men of Tennessee, and 
his civil descendants are worthy such a sire. 

Sir John Foster Fraser, speaking here in the Chautauqua last year, said 
repeatedly: "There is no glory about war." The statement is true. When we 
see troops marching out with polished accoutrements and weapons, with firm 
tread and shining eyes, with movements that are measured, virile and precise; 
when we hear the martial notes of the bugle and the patriotic melodies of the 
band, then our hearts are thrilled and we think of the glory of military life. But

^.--^- 




when war actually conies, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as the Spanish 
WTiter, Ibanez, has pointed out, are loosed. The White Horse of glittering Mili- 
tarism, the Red Horse of Bloodshed, the Black Steed of Famine and the Pale 
Horse of Terror — these four and their riders rush forth above the world. A cold 
and icy blast precedes them; destruction, want and sorrow follow in their train. 

The men so splendidly accoutred, who went out to war, are called up to battle by 
the Four Horsemen. Behold them! The shining weapons are broken and rusted. 
The spick and span uniforms are torn and defiled with mud and the stains of 
blood. The ranks that once marched four by four with steady tread have great 
gaps where men have fallen. The faces once filled with health and color are now 
wan and shrunken, and eyes with deep circles under them blaze out, filled with 
the fires of anguish and with the horrors of what they have seen. Shot and 
shell from rifles and gi'eat guns whine and burst across the field of war. Corpses 
of men and beasts lie putrefying in the sun, unburied because of the haste of 
battle. Limbs blovim from healthy young bodies lie decaying where they fell. 
There is an insufferable stench over the whole expanse. It is the breath of the 
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Within the area of strife are towns and cities 
once flourishing and filled with youth and laughter, now desolate. In many 
homes, in many nations, there are women whose hearts are crushed, there are 
children who are fatherless, because of men who will never come back. Behold- 
ing all this desolation and heartbreak, we agree that there is no glory about war. 

Yet there is glory, resplendent glory, upon the heroism of men willing amidst 
such scenes to risk their lives for the sake of Right. There is glory, radiant 
glory, upon the sacrifices patriotic men and women have made that war shall not 
come again and that Freedom shall not die. And if blood spilled counts for any- 
thing, if citations and decorations won mean anything, if utmost sacrifices made 
are anything, then Knox County has earned her crown of glory. The four mad 
Horsemen, once stabled in Berlin, rallied their tremendous hosts along the Hin- 
denburg line. American valor broke that line and overthrew the Horsemen — 
let us hope, forever. That line was broken at various points. But to the troops 
of North and South Carolina and Tennessee, fighting with the British at Belli- 
court, Nauroy, Fremont, and Busigny — foremost among them Knox County men — ■ 
belongs this everlasting honor and distinction ; they broke it first. 

And in the great distinctively American actions, the battle of St. Mihiel and 
the forty-seven days' battle of the Argonne Forest, our men wei-e in the front. In- 
deed, it was in these engagements that most of Knox County's soldiers were to 
be found. They were not organized into one unit. Going into service at various 
times, in various units, and in many instances being frequently transferred, each 
man carried on and did his duty. Our men were to be found in practically every 
one of the forty-two American combat divisions, fighting over nearly every land- 
scape on the Western Front. In the battles we have named they fought with 
almost super-human bravery. And in Marshal Foch's great counter-offensive 
along the Marne, when Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood, Bouresches, and Soissons 
leaped upon History's immortal page, men of Knox County wrote their names in 
blood. 

Nor did our men fail to sustain America's tradition of valor on the sea. To 
the courage and skill of all branches of the Naval service is due the world's 
gratitude that our land troops arrived on schedule time and kept coming till 
victory was won. By night and by day, facing storm and tempest and the most 
hideous terrors of man's invention, watching and fighting on every dangerous

\vater, Knox Countians proved themselves worthy to keep company with the 
heroic Captain LawTence and the mighty John Paul Jones. And for some of 
them the guns boomed out the mournful salute of honor, that told of life laid 
down for Liberty and Country. 

Honor to whom honor is due ! For our gallant fighting men we have no words 
of praise too high. They met the flower of the world's best-trained and fiercest 
army, and laid it low. We hold in great pride also our men who did not reach the 
firing line but ate their hearts out longing to go and prove their mettle, meanwhile 
faithfully performing their duties where they were. Theirs, too, were heroes' 
souls. Also we bring our grateful tributes to those men and women who served 
in the various welfare organizations, several of them abroad and at the front, 
some of them wounded. They did much in sustaining the army's morale. There 
was no branch of service, military, naval or civilian, in which Knox Countians 
were not found. 

Let not our soldiers and sailors think this country will forget. For over fifty 
years we have held in reverent memory the men who wore the Blue and the Gray. 
And now their sons in Khaki will stand beside them always within the Holy of 
Holies in the Nation's heart. 

Most sacred of all to us are those who sleep beneath the Flag, having poured 
out for it their last full measure of devotion. Very tender is our thought of the 
fathers and mothers and wives who have given their sons and husbands on 
Freedom's altar. Their grief is too holy to intrude upon. If we do not often 
speak of it, it is only because we would not tear their heart wounds afresh. But 
their boys are held in our everlasting love. 

"On Fame's eternal camping ground. 
Their silent tents are spread; 
And glory guards, with solemn round. 
The bivouac of the dead." 

This volume will be treasured in many a home. Let us not, however, be con- 
tent merely with the reading of it. Our men fought for the ideals of Christian 
civilization as expressed in free America. Let us keep those ideals bright in 
action. Our men sang time and time again: 

"In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, 
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; 
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, 
While God is marching on." 

Let it be our high privilege to see to it that the nation whose destiny they 
have preserved shall maintain inviolate the liberties made secure at such a price. 
May no force, without or within, be permitted to trample upon our gift of Free- 
dom. In all our ways may we acknowledge Him who brought us to this hour, as 
we humbly believe, to accomplish justice for mankind. In all our relations, do- 
mestic and foreign, may we prove ourselves a nation whose God is indeed the Lord.

]<]ST ye in peace, ye Flauders dead ! 
The fight that ye so bravely led 

We've taken up! And we will keep 
True faith with you who lie asleep, 
With each a cross to mark his lied, 
Aud poppies ))lowing overhead 
Where ouce his own life blood ran red! 
So let your rest be sweet and deep 
In Flanders fields! 

Pear not that ye have died for naught; 

The torch ye threw to us we caught ! 
Ten million hands will hold it high, 
And Freedom's light shall never die! 

We 've learned the lesson that ye taught 
In Flanders fields !

OUR VARIED SERVICE 



Exclusive of a few companies and one division, there were no other units or 
organizations in the army in which the men and officers from Knox County were 
gathered distinctively and into large groups during the war. Through assign- 
ment and transfer, as well as on account of the different times at which they en- 
tered the service of the government in its multitude of branches, the large ma- 
jority of those who went to war from this city and county — above 4,000 in num- 
:^ ber — were scattered throughout all the arms of our military and naval forces. 

:;) To understand thoroughly this diffusion and wide separation of men in the 

army, a condition which applied to every section and locality, it will be necessary 
to trace briefly the growth of our military forces under the stress of a great 
emergency. In its expansion from a small, compact organization of about 190,000 
in time of peace, with virtually only four distinct branches — infantry, artillery, 
cavalry and engineering — to a huge, multiplex organization of more than 3,500,- 
000 men under arms, our army underwent a complete transformation. Quite as 
striking as its growth in numbers was the increase in the variety and com- 
plexity of special services and special branches, made necessary by the waging 
of war under new conditions and at a great distance from home. 

As an illustration, the motor transport service, which was quite unknown be- 
fore this war as a distinct organization, was almost as large in numbers on the 
day the armistice with Germany was concluded as our whole army was befoi'e 
the war began. The air service had more than 200,000 men and officers assigned 
to it. The chemical warfare branch required the employment of almost a division 
for its special work. 

The units of the national guard divisions were organized before this great 
expansion took place. The individual companies were recruited from the same 
town or section. They were composed of men who had been boys together, who 
knew each other intimately, and whose officers were men whose leadership they 
accepted. When the call into federal service on August 5, 1917 came, and they 
went away to training camps, the same basic organization was maintained. 
There were some infusions of draft troops in the fall of 1917 to bring these com- 
panies up to the new war strength, but the personnel remained largely the same 
throughout the war. When the fighting was over, the men returned home in the 
same companies and same regiments, for the most part, with which they had 
departed two years before. The companies had the same nucleus with which they 
went away to war. 

Quite the reverse was true of the men who were in the regular and national 
army divisions. After the declaration of war, the regular army regiments were 
expanded into three regiments each. Each of them was made up of one-third 
veterans and two-thirds recruits or drafted men. Many of the old men in the 
original regiments were transferred to the national army divisions as commis- 
sioned and non-commissioned officers. They were scattered throughout the Uni- 
ted States to assist in the training of tlie new men. 

After the organization of the first national army divisions, this dispersion of 
men from the same section became even greater. This was due to two entirely 
diff"ei'ent causes, whose full effect became in evidence during the spring and sum- 
mer months of 1918, when the majority of all the men drafted were called to the 
colors. 

The national guard and regular army divisions, which were selected to go to 
France first because of their earlier training, began to suffer casualties and to 
dwindle in strength after a few weeks in the trenches. There was need con- 
stantly of a large reservoir of man power from which replacements could be 



: —

drawn periodically to fill these divisions. It was found better policy to refill 
them in this way than to create new divisions to take their place in the line. To 
meet this situation and to keep a steady flow of men to France to fill the gaps, in- 
fantry and artillery replacement camps were established in this country to 
train men for this work. Instead of becoming a component part of som.e new 
division, the di-aft boards sent large groups of men directly to these camps, from 
which they were scattered throughout the combat divisions in France. 

Under this policy, Knox County men filtered into regular army, national guard 
and national army combat divisions. They were as likely to be assigned to a 
regiment of Californians or New Yorkers as to one of the Tennessee units. They 
were used wherever the needs of the moment were greatest. Sectional lines and 
previous residence were disregarded absolutely in the assignment of troops. The 
War Department recognized this gradual amalgamation of the three grand di- 
visions of the combat forces of the army and ordered that all officers and men 
should wear the same collar insignia, the large "U. S." 

There was another factor which added to this dispersion of men from the 
same county, state and section. By the spring of .1918, all the numerous special 
branches and services in the army had been organized on a skeleton basis. Men 
of special, technical training were needed to fill them to their proper strength. 
The government permitted men of this type with these special qualifications, even 
though they wei-e registered and subject to call later into the service, to enlist 
in those branches for which they were fitted best. Regular calls were sent out 
from Washington to the draft boards, asking for men of this quality. Hundi'eds 
of Knox Countians came under this classification and rendered their service to 
the government in this way. 

Finally, to complete the thorough dispersion of men of the same city or coun- 
ty, the local draft boards were ordered to send recruits to many difi'erent camps 
over the country. In the beginning of the operation of the draft law, Knox Coun- 
ty boards sent these men only to Camp Gordon. But in the heavy calls of the 
summer months of 1918, men were ordered to Camp Sevier, Camp Shelby. Camp 
Greene, Camp Jackson, Camp Taylor, Camp Sherman, and other cantonments. 

Examination of the personal war records of the men, whose photographs are 
shown elsewhere in this volume, will reveal the fact that there was hardly a 
division in our army, a camp in this country, or a single one of the branches of 
the service, in which there were not a few Knox Countians. They were through- 
out the majority of the combat divisions; in the infantry, artillery, cavalry, 
quartermaster corps, and engineering branches; in the motor transport service, 
the many phases of railroad work in France, in the staff schools and staff' head- 
quarters; in mobile ordnance repair shops, in pioneer regiments, labor battalions; 
cooking and baking schools, gas and flame service, and in the many subdivisions 
of the service of supply. 

This diversity of service both at home and abroad has made it next to im- 
possible, therefore, to sketch in one volume, or even in many volumes, the history 
of the organizations of all the men from Knox County who played some part, 
either large or small, in the greatest of all wars. Such a history would be a 
complete story of the war in all its phases and of the battle actions of many 
companies, regiments and divisions. Its scope would be so extensive as to pre- 
clude its treatment in a volume of this size. The personal records of the Knox 
County men, which are given later, tell the principal facts of their military ca- 
reers and of their military service. 

The fighting operations of the majority of these men, however, are comprised 
in the St. Mihiel and Argonne Forest battles, which constitute the distinctive, 
olfensive accomplishment and contribution of the American Expeditionary Forces 



ii(iii]fliiiiiii!iiiii(iiii(ffntfm-nm

in winning the war. Several divisions, sooner or later, were stationed elsewhere, 
either entirely or in part throughout the fighting, but always under the British 
or French High Command. They made glorious records on whatever front or in 
whatever sector it was their lot to be engaged. The Thirtieth and Twenty-seventh 
divisions fought side by side with the British throughout their service in France. 
The First, Second, Third, Fourth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth, Thirty-second, 
and Forty-second divisions took a very weighty and active part under the French 
during June and July, 1918, in checking the German drive toward Paris, while 
their assistance in the counter-offensive of Marshal Foch, beginning July 18, was 
the main factor in causing the German evacuation of the Marne salient. 

The St. Mihiel and Argonne battles, however, stand out above all the en- 
gagements of the American forces during the war, because they were fought in 
American sectors, under American leadership, and largely by American troops. 
The larger number of our combat divisions, twenty-four out of the twenty-nine 
which had battle experience, engaged in one or both of these great offensive 
operations. 

To describe at some length these battles, together with the operations of the 
Thirtieth Division in Belgium and in the Somme offensive, should include, then, 
in a general way the principal activities on the front of the men from Knox Coun- 
ty who were privileged to have a part in the fighting. Reference to the accom- 
panying maps will make clear some of the difficulties that they encountered, show 
what parts of the line were held by the divisions of which Knox Countians were 
members, and the strategy which the American and allied commanders employed 
in accomplishing their ends and bringing the Germans to their knees. 



: = 




The same conditions, which operated to separate and scatter the men who went 
into the army, also applied to those who went into the navy, air sei'vice and the 
marines. In no camp, training station, naval base or battle fleet were there 
gathered more than a handful of men who were from this city or county. Yet 
they served with the same fidelity, endured the same hardships, made the same 
sacrifices that their brothers did who fortunately were grouped together in larger 
numbers and in distinctive units. Only their personal records will ever reveal 
the quiet, unostentatious service they rendered. No class of men worked so hard, 
so long hours, or were so constantly exposed to danger as the men in the navy. 
Yet there was little of the spectacular in their work which brought them before 
the public eye like the soldiers who took part in some memorable battle. 

This great majority of Knox Countians, who were submerged in the different 
varieties of war service, returned home as they left. They came by ones and 
twos and threes. Some were discharged a few days after the armistice was 
signed. Most of them were mustered out during the spring and summer of 1919. 
A few, who were in the last divisions to leave Germany as part of the army of 
occupation, did not receive their discharges for nearly a year after fighting had 
ceased. There was no blare of trumpets or reception committees to meet them. 
They came in quietly, and, after a few days of rest, went back to the occupations 
and professions in which they were engaged before war called them to their coun- 
try's standard. They had done their full duty. They were glad to lay aside 
the livery and pursuit of war and return to the labors of peace.

THIRTIETH DIVISION 

(OFFICIAL HISTORY) 



The Thirtieth Division was a distinctively American division. More than 95 
per cent of its personnel was of American-born parents. The division was con- 
stituted of National Guard troops of North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennes- 
see, augmented by many thousands of selective draft troops fi'om the states of 
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, North Carolina, South Carolina 
and Tennessee. 

The division was dubbed "Old Hickory" after the warrior and statesman, 
Andrew Jackson, who was so closely identified with the history of the states fur- 
nishing the major portion of its personnel. 

The Old Hickory Division landed at the port of Calais, France on the 24th 
day of May, 1918, and was billeted in the Eperlocques Training Area. While in 
this area the officers of the division reconnoitered the Terdeghen Switch Line, 
south of Cassel, and complete plans were formulated for the occupation of this 
line by forced marches in case of emergency. 

Before the completion of its training period, the division was transferred to 
the II British Corps, Second Army, in the Ypres sector to be in close support in 
case of the expected German offensive. This division, the first American division 
to enter that kingdom, marched into Belgium on .luly 4th, with Division Head- 
quarters at Watou, to be in close support of the 33rd and 49th British Divisions, 
and was employed in completing the construction of the East and West Poperinghe 
Defense Systems immediately in rear of these two divisions. An immense amount 
of ti'ench and wire construction was done. Complete plans and orders were issued 
for the occupation of the East and West Poperinghe Systems by the 30th Division 
in the event of a German attack and a forced withdrawal of the British Divisions 
in the front. The division received training in the front line with the 33rd and 
49th Divisions, first as individuals, then by platoons, and lastly by entire battal- 
ions. 

On August 17, 1918, the division took over the entire sector occupied by the 
33rd British Division, 60th Brigade being in the front line, 59th Brigade in 
support. This was known as the Canal Sector and extended fi-om the southern 
outskirts of Ypres to the vicinity of Voormezeele, a distance of 2,400 metres.

On August 31 and September 1 the division engaged in an offensive in con- 
junction with the 14th British Division on the left and 27th American Division 
on the right. The 30th Division captured all its objectives, including Lock No. 
8, Lankhof Farm, and the City of Voormezeele, advancing fifteen hundred yards, 
capturing fifteen prisoners, two machine-guns and thirty-five rifles. As a result 
of this advance the 236th Division, which was considered an average German 
division, was identified. During the six weeks previous to this advance, many 
attempts had been made by the British and our own troops to identify this Ger- 
man division. 

On September 4-5, the division was withdrawn from the Canal Sector and 
placed in British G. H. Q. reserve with Division Headcjuarters at Roellecourt, 
France. While in this area the entii-e division was trained in attacking in con- 
junction with British tanks. On September 17, the division was again moved 
farther south with Division Headquarters at Herissart, and on September 22 was 
moved to the British Fourth Army with Division Headquarters at Bois de Buire, 
near Tincourt, taking over a front line sector from the 1st Australian Division 
on the night of September 23-24. 

September 29 this division, with the 27th American Division on the left and 
the 46th British Division on the right, assaulted the Hindenburg Line. The 
Hindenburg Line at this point curved in front of the Tunnel of St. Quentin. 
This was considered impregnable by the Germans for the following reasons: The 
Hindenburg Line, curving west of the tunnel, consisted of three main trench sys- 
tems protected by vast fields of heavy barbed wire entanglements skillfully placed. 
This wire was very heavy and had been damaged very little by artillery fire. The 
dominating ground enabled them to bring devastating machine-gun fire on all 
approaches. The lines had been strengthened with concrete machine-gun em- 
placements. It contained at this point a large number of dugouts, lined with 
mining timbers, with wooden steps leading down to a depth of about 30 feet and 
with small rooms capable of holding from four to six men each. In many cases, 
these dugouts were wired for electric light. The large tunnel, through which the 
canal ran, was of sufficient capacity to shelter a division. This tunnel was 
electrically lighted and filled with barges. Connecting it with the Hindenburg 
trench system were numerous tunnels. In one case a direct tunnel ran from the 
main tunnel to the basement of a large stone building, which the enemy used for 
headquarters. Other tunnels ran from the main tunnel eastward to the City of 
Bellicourt and other places. This complete subteri'anean system with its hidden 
exits and entrances, unknown to us, formed a most complete and safe subterranean 
method of communication and reinforcement for the German sector. 

The Thirtieth Division, 60th Brigade, augmented by units of the 117th Infantry, 
attacking, assaulted this line at 5:50 a. m., September 29, on a front of three 
thousand yards, captured the entire Hindenburg System of that sector and ad- 
vanced farther, capturing the tunnel system with the German troops therein; 
took the Cities of Bellicourt, Nauroy, Riqueval, Carriere, Etricourt, Guillaine 
Ferme and Ferme de Riqueval, advancing four thousand, two hundred yards, de- 
feating two enemy divisions of average quality, (the 75th Reserve Division and 
the 185th Division), and taking as prisoners 47 officers and 1,434 men. 

On October 1-2, the division was relieved by the 5th Australian Division and 
moved to a back area with division headquarters at Herbecourt. The division 
scarcely reached this area when it was marched back and took over the front line 
in the same sector from the 2nd Australian Division near Montbrehain on the 
night of October 4-5. 

From October 8-11, the division attacked each day, advancing 17,500 yards, 
and capturing le Tilleul d'Archies, le Petit Cambresis, Becquigny, Mon. Sarasin, 
le Trou Aux Soldats, Busigny, Gloriette, le Vert Donjon, Escaufourt, le Rond

Fassiaux Fermes, taking prisoners 45 officers and 1,889 men. The .59th Brigade 
began this attack on October 8 and captured all their objectives, including Fre- 
mont and Brancourt. During this opei-ation from October 8-11, the 30th Division 
encountered units from fourteen German divisions, classified by the British High 
Command as follows: 34th Division, average; 20th Division, very good; 24th 
Division, very good; 21st Division, average; 21st Reserve Division, average; 38th 
Division, very good; 119th Division, average; 121st Division, average; 187th Sharp- 
shooting Section, very good; 204th Division, average; 208th Division, average; 
3rd Naval Division, very good; 15th Reserve Division, average. 

The 30th Division was relieved by the 27th Division on October 11-12. but re- 
turned on October 16 and took over a part of the same line at the same place, 
being the right half of the sector temporarily held by the 27th. The next attack 
was launched on October 17-19 against the 221st Division, average; 243rd Division, 
average; 29th Division, very good, advancing nine thousand yards and capturing 
6 officers and 412 men, and the towns of Molain, St. -Martin Riviere, Ribeauville, 
Ecaillon, Mazinghein and Ribeaucourt Ferme. 

During much of the fighting from October 8-11 and October 17-19, difficulties 
of the terrain were very great, with the country greatly broken by small patches 
of woods, while villages, with uneven terrain and occasional large towns, admirably 
added to the machine-gun defense of which the Germans took every advantage. 
The Selle River with high banks beyond was obstinately defended. In spite of 
these difficulties the advance continued, often without artillery support, and was 
made possible only by the determination of the men and the skillful use of all 
arms combined with clever utilization of the diversified terrain. The 3rd German 
Naval Division of the crack German divisions was hastily thrown in in an attempt 
to stop the advance. 



The division was then withdrawn to the Heilly Training Area, near Amiens, 
for replacements and a well-earned rest. Two weeks later, when orders for an 
immediate return to the front were expected daily, the armistice with Germany 
was signed November 11, 1918. The fighting being over, the II American Corps 
was released from the British E. F., wth which it had been associated since its 
arrival in France, and transferred to the American E. F. in the Le Mans area, 
where the first units of the 30th Division arrived and Divisional Headquarters 
opened at Ballon on November 21. 

During the above operations the advance was so rapid and the troops with- 
drawTi so soon, there was no opportunity to gather up and salvage a great num- 
ber of guns and supplies captured, which were left for the salvage troops of the 
Fourth British Army. Upon a partial check by the units of the division, it is 
knowni that at least 72 field artillery pieces, 26 trench mortars, 426 machine guns 
and 1,792 rifles were captured in addition to the great mass of material. This 
represents but a portion of the captures. In many instances, field guns taken 
from the Germans were turned over to the supporting artillery and used by them 
upon the retreating enemy. 

Total number of prisoners captured by this division from September 29 to 
October 20 were: 98 officers, 3,750 men. During the same period we lost 3 officers 
and 24 men as prisoners. The total casualties of the entire division, according to 
statistics of the War Department, were 1,652 killed and 9,429 wounded. The 
division stood eleventh in the army in the number of casualties.

The following messages and orders speak for themselves: 



AUSTRALIAN CORPS 



My Dear General: 



Corps Headquarters, 

2nd October, 1918. 



As the II American Corps has now been withdrawn from the line, and my 
official association with you and your troops has been, for the time being, sus- 
pended, I desire to express to you the great pleasure that it has been to me, 
and to the troops of the Australian Army Corps to have been so closely allied to 
you in the recent very important battle operations which have resulted in the 
breaking through of the main Hindenburg Line on the fi-ont of the Fourth British 
Army. 

Now that fuller details of the work done by the 27th and 30th American Divis- 
ions have become available, the splendid gallantry and devotion of the troops in 
these operations have won the admiration of their Australian comrades. The 
tasks set were formidable, but the American troops overcame all obstacles and 
contributed in a very high degree to the ultimate capture of the whole tunnel 
system. 

I shall be glad if you will convey to your Division Commanders my appreciation 
of and thanks for the work done, and to accept my best wishes for every possible 
success in the future. 

Yours verv sincerely, 

john'monash.

of its own, I desire to convey to you. General Read, and all members of your 
staff as well as to all other ranks of the Thirtieth Division, my hearty congratu- 
lations on your victory today. The gallantry of your infantry and the precision 
with which all staff arrangements have worked has filled me with admiration and 
it has given me pleasure to report your unqualified success to Field Marshal Sir 
Douglas Haig.

up to attack positicns cf great strength held by a determined enemy, all ranks of 
the 27th and 30th Divisions under your command displayed an energy, courage 
and determinaticn in attack which proved irresistible. It does not need me to tell 
you that in the heavy fighting of the past three weeks you have earned the lasting 
esteem and admiration of your British comrades-in-arms whose success you have 
so nobly shared. 

D. HAIG, 

Field Marshal. 



October 22nd, 1918. 



II American Corps: 



Now that the American Corps has come out of the line for a well-earned period 
of rest and training, I desire to place on record my appreciation of the gallantry 
and the fine soldierly spirit they have displayed throughout the recent hard fight- 
ing. 

The breaking of the great Hindenburg System of defense, coupled with the 
capture of Brancourt, Busigny and St. Souplet, and finally the forcing of the 
passages of the Selle river, constitute a series of victories of which each officer, 
N. C. O. and man has every reason to feel proud. 

The Corps has been very well supported by the artillery of the Australian 
Corps, to whom I desire to off'er my best thanks for their skill and endurance 
during the long months they have now been in action. 

The efficiency with which the staif work of the Corps has been carried out on 
this their first experience as a fighting Corps in the line of battle has filled me 
with admiration, and I attribute it largely to the zeal and unity of purpose which 
has throughout animated the whole Corps. 

The outstanding feature of their recent victories has been the surpassing gal- 
lantry and self-sacrifice of the regimental officers and men. I congratulate them 
on their prowess and off'er them, one and all, my warmest thanks for the leading 
part they have taken in the recent operations. 

It is possible now to give the Corps a period of rest, during which special 
attention should be paid to the training of the smaller units in minor tactics, 
such as the attack of strong points and machine gun nests. The experience they 
have had of actual combat will assist them to improve their fighting efficiency in 
this respect. 

In thanking the Corps as a whole for the great services they have rendered to 
the Allied cause, I desire to wish all ranks the best good fortune in the future. 

RAWLINSON, 

Commanding 4th British Army. 



Busigny, October 27, 1918. 



Commanding General, 30th Division: 



Acting as a representative of the commune and in its name, consequently in 
the name, too, of a part of France, I take the liberty to come and express to our 
liberator and to the gallant troops under your command our feelings of deepest 
and eternal gratitude. 

For those who have not been submitted, as we have, for four years, to the in- 
tolerable and abhorred German yoke, it is difficult to realize how great were the 
relief, the joy, the well-being, in a word the unexpressible happiness, we all felt 
when the first Allied troops made their way through our village, and this great 
event has been for us like the dawn of a resurrection.

I should be vei-y thankful to you if you would convey to all your officers, 
N. C. O's. and men under your command, our deep feelings of admiration and 
eternal gi'atitude. 

Please, Sir, accept the expression of my highest consideration, and believe me.

Commanding General, 30th Division: 



November 15th, 1918. 



1. Referring to the telegram from the Commander-in-Chief of appreciation 
of the sacrifice and service of the troops of the American Expeditionary Force, I 
feel that it should be impressed upon the men of our command that they, and the 
organizations to which they belong, have played an exceptional part in bringing 
about the magnificent results which the Commander-in-chief has so warmly 
eulogized, and that every advantage should be taken of this expression of what 
has been done in the past and confidence as to the future by those in command to 
inspire their men with pride in the service they have had as soldiers in the Army 
of the United States, and to keep alive this "proud consciousness of a new Amer- 
icanism born of sacrifice." 

2. I would request that you convey to your command my appreciation of the 
part they have taken in our great victory, and my thanks for their heroic devotion 
to duty; and that I share with them their sorrow for fallen comrades, and their 
pride in the high achievements of the men of this Corps. 

G. W. READ, 

Major-General, Commanding II Corps. 



Commanding General, II American Corps: 



November 16th. 1918. 



Now that the II American Corps is leaving the British zone, I wish once more 
to thank you and all officers, non-commissioned officers and men under your com- 
mand, on behalf both of myself and all ranks of the British Armies, in France 
and Flanders, for the very gallant and efficient service you have rendered during 
the period of your operations with the Fourth British Army. 

On the 29th of September, you took part with distinction in the great and 
critical attack which shattered the enemy's resistance in the Hindenburg Line and 
opened the road to final victory. The deeds of the 27th and 30th American Di- 
visions who on that day took Bellicourt and Nauroy and so gallantly sustained 
the desperate struggle for Bony, will rank with the highest achievements of this 
war. They will always be remembered by the British Regiments that fought 
beside you. 

Since that date, through three weeks of almost continuous fighting, you ad- 
vanced from one success to another, overcoming all resistance, beating off numer- 
ous counter-attacks, and capturing several thousand prisoners and many guns. 
The names of Brancourt, Fremont, Busigny, Vaux-Andigny, St.-Souplet and Maz- 
inghein testify to the dash and energy of your attacks. 

I re.ioice at the success which has attended your efforts and I am proud co 
have had you under mv command. 

(Signed) D. HAIG, 

Field Marshal.

GENERAL LAWRENCE D. TYSON 

In rank. Icnuth of service, and experience in military aflairs, General Tyson stands at 
the head of the national guardsmen of Tennessee. His military career reached its apex in 
his command of the Fifty-ninth Infantry Brigade, of the Thirtieth Division, duriny: the 
World War. For the splendid manner in which he handled it in its operations on one of the 
most difficult parts of the front he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by the War 
Department upon the recommendation of C^eneral Perihinn. 

General Tyson's career as a soldier l:ey:an in 1SS3 when he was commissioned a second 
lieutenant in the Ninth United States Infantry, after he had completed the four-year course 
at the West Point Military Academy. He remained as an olTicer of the regular army vntil 
1896, when he resigned to come to Knoxville to reside and enter business. When war with 
Spain arose. General Tyson volunteered his services and was made colonel of the Sixth 
Volunteer Infantry. With his regiment he saw service in Porto Rico. After the declaration 
of war against Germany, Governor Rye recognized General Tyson's military ability by com- 
missioning him brigadier general of the Tennessee volunteer troops. In the reorganization 
of the national giard troops of Tennessee. North Carolina and South Carolina, into the 
Thirtieth Division. General Tyson was placed in command of the Fifty-ninth Infantry 
Brigade. He accompanied it to France and led it in its battles in the Ypres sector in Bel- 
gium and in the attack on the Hindenburg Line, together with the bitter engagements 
which followed it in the succeeding three weeks.

FIFTY-NINTH BRIGADE 



The Fifty-ninth Infantry Brigade of the Thirtieth Division, organized at 
Camp Sevier, S. C, in September, 1917, was composed of the 117th and 118th 
Infantry regiments and the 114th Machine Gun Battalion. The 117th Infantry 
originally was the Third Tennessee Infantry, the 118th Infantry was the former 
First South Carolina Infantry, while the machine gun battalion was made up of 
Troops A, B, C, Tennessee cavalry, from Nashville, Chattanooga and Athens, 
respectively. To bring them up to war strength in accordance with the revised 
tables of organization, there were large infusions of draft men into each unit of 
the brigade in tlie fall of 1917. These men were largely from Tennessee and the 
Middle West. They made most excellent soldiers. 

The first commander of the brigade was Gen. W. S. Scott. He was succeeded 
soon after its organization by Gen. Lawrence D. Tyson, of Knoxville, who went 
to Camp Sevier as the head of all the Tennessee national guard troops. Gen. 
Tyson commanded the brigade through its period of training at Camp Sevier, 
in all of its operations overseas, and until it was mustei-ed out of service in 
April, 1919. Though most brigades went through a series of changes in the per- 
sonnel of their higher commanders during the war, the Fifty-ninth was peculiarly 
an exception in this respect. Gen. Tyson remained with it during its entire ser- 
vice. So also did Lieut. -Col. Thomas .1. Wyrick, brigade adjutant, and Lieuts. 
Rye and Milburn, Gen. Tyson's aides. Colonel Spence commanded the 117th In- 
fantry from its organization until its discharge, but Col. Peter K. McCulley was 
succeeded by Col. Orrin R. Wolfe in France as commander of the 118th Infantry. 
Major .J. Perry Fyffe, who was the first commander of the machine gun battalion, 
was relieved by Major E. B. Cantey after the brigade's arrival overseas. 

Movement of the brigade from Camp Sevier, where it trained for approxi- 
mately eight months after its organization, began early in May, 1918. The 
route taken was by New York to Liverpool, across England, and then by the Eng- 
lish Channel to Calais, France. Before the end of the month all units of the 
brigade were in France and under the intensive training of English instructors. 
On July 4 the brigade moved forward into Belgium, the first American troops 
to enter the little country. The division remained in support of the .3.3rd and 
49th British Divisions for several days, but units up to the battalion went into 
the battle line for real experience. The Thirtieth Division finally took over the 
Canal Sector from the 33rd British on August 17, and the brigade thereafter saw 
front line duty daily until its withdrawal. 

During the period in Belgium, which was largely spent in accustoming the 
regiments to trench warfare and in training them for the big ofl'ensive a month 
later in the Somme area, the casualties of the brigade were very light. They 
included two officers killed, four officers wounded, four enlisted men killed, five 
died of wounds, and fifty-six wounded, a total of 71 for the operations in Belgium. 

The brigade was withdrawn from the Canal Sector September 4-5 and placed 
in reserve for a short course in training with tanks. Two weeks later the final 
move in preparation for the big offensive between St. Quentin and Cambrai was 
made, and on September 23 the brigade took over the line just west of Bellicourt 
from the First Australian Division. The 118th Infantry went into the front 
lines, with the 117th Infantry in suppoi-t. They were relieved shortly before 
the attack by the 60th Brigade. 

The plan of battle was that the Sixtieth Brigade, plus Company H, of the 
117th Infantry, and the 114th Machine Gun Battalion, should attack on the 
divisional front, penetrate the barbed wire entanglements, and capture Belli-

court and Nauroy. Its elements were to have the protection of a creeping bar- 
rage and be preceded by a strong array of tanks. The Fifty-ninth Brigade was 
allotted the task of ei-eating a divisional i-eserve and exploiting the line to the 
southeast after the St. Quentin Canal had been crossed. Exploitation of this 
territory was assigned to the 117th, while the 118th made up the divisional re- 
serve. 

The sector of attack for the division was considered the most strongly forti- 
fied part of the whole Hindenburg Line, which extended from the English Chan- 
nel to the Swiss border. The defensive fortifications were thought to be the 
strongest that could possibly be erected and capable of withstanding any offense. 
In addition to the St. Quentin Canal, which reached a depth of 15 feet at places 
and some 150 feet in width, the Germans had built four series of trenches, each 
of which was protected by heavy barbed wire entanglements. It was through 
these obstacles that the assaulting waves had to pass. At the apex of the de- 
fenses of the German lines, and in front of Bellicourt, the canal ran through a 
tunnel, in which 30,000 troops could be billeted in safety. The approaches to the 
tunnel were made almost impregnable by numbers of machine guns, which com- 
manded the canal both north and south. Furthermore, smaller tunnels made 
connection with many points of the trench system in front of the canal. 

Two elements favored the attack. The first of these was an intense artillery 
preparation from hundreds of British and Australian guns. These played upon 
the enemy lines, but did little damage to the barbed wire. The other element 
was a heavy fog, which concealed the advance of the Americans and prevented 
the full efl'ect of the German machine gun and rifle fire from playing upon them 
accurately. Undoubtedly, many of the companies became lost from each other 
and wandered from the direction of their objectives, but their losses were not so 
heavy as they would have been if the morning had been clear. 

The crushing of the main defenses of the line and the cleaning up of machine 
gun nests continued throughout September 29 and the two succeeding days, when 
the brigade and division were relieved for a short time to rest and recuperate for 
further attacks. The brigade's casualties in the drive upon the Hindenburg Line, 
which stands out as one of the great battles of the war, were 854 out of a total 
strength of 7,661 men and officers. They were divided as follows: oflficers killed, 
3; officers wounded, 37; men killed, 79; men died of wounds, 39; men wounded, 
696. 

The heaviest and bloodiest fighting of the brigade, however, was upon October 
8 and 9. In these two days the towns of Geneve, Ponchaux, Montbrehain, Bran- 
court, Fremont, Busigny, and Becquigny were captured, and an advance of 
close to 10,000 yards was made against the most determined resistance by the 
German divisions with machine guns, artillery, and infantry. The attack was 
taken up on October 10 and 11 by the Sixtieth Brigade. On October 12 the Thir- 
tieth Division was relieved by the Twenty-seventh American Division for a 
brief rest. However, the Thirtieth was called back on October 16, and the follow- 
ing morning the Fifty-ninth Brigade again took up the battle against the enemy. 
It captured Molain and advanced across the Selle River before it was relieved by 
the Sixtieth Brigade, which continued the fighting until the afternoon of October 
19. 

From October 5 to 19, inclusive, covering this hard fighting beyond the Hin- 
denburg Line, the brigade sufl'ered 2,571 casualties. Of 194 off'icers, 22 were 
killed, 1 died of wounds, and 66 were wounded. From the enlisted personnel of 
the brigade, comprising 6,857 men, 382 were killed, 56 died of wounds, and 2,044 
were wounded. Summarizing the casualties of the brigade from the time it went

B 



into the line until it was finally -withdrawn, the total killed and wounded of 
officers and enlisted men was 3,496, or 45.5 per cent of the brigade's strength. 
The units of the brigade advanced approximately 19,700 yards for a penetration 
of about 11 miles into the lines of the enemy. 

While exact figures are impossible because of the rapidity of the advance and 
the fierceness of the fighting, yet a fairly accurate count of the spoils taken by 
the brigade in its operations in the line shows the following: prisoners captured, 
2736; field pieces taken, 65; machine guns captured, 446; rifles and other small 
arms, 4171; trench mortars, 72; anti-tank guns, 25; bicycles, 200; anti-aircraft 
guns, 5; minnenwerfers, 3; and square miles of territory taken, 18.2. In the attack 
on the Hindenburg Line and the operations that followed it, the following ad- 
vances were made: jumping-off line to St. Quentin Canal, 1,900 yards; St. Quen- 
tin Canal to objective on September 29, 2,400 yards; operations of October 7, 8, 
and 9, 9,800 yards; operations of October 17 and 18, 5,600 yards. 

Exhausted by the long siege of fighting, the brigade was withdrawn with the 
rest of the division to the Heilly training area near Amiens on October 20. Re- 
placements for the thinned ranks were to be drawn and men and officers were to 
be given a few days of rest before returning to the fighting again. .Just when 
orders were expected for a return to the front, the armistice was signed and all 
fighting ceased. Toward the end of November orders were received from Amer- 
ican General Headquarters to entrain for the Le Mans area. There the brigade 
remained until early in March, 1919, when it again entrained for St. Nazaire, 
where boats were waiting to transport its units to the United States. Landing 
was made at Charleston, South Carolina, during the last days of that month. 
The 118th Infantry was mustered out at Camp Jackson, but the 117th Infantry 
and the 114th Machine Gun Battalion, after great parades through Knoxville, 
Nashville and Chattanooga, were demobilized at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, about 
the middle of April, 1919. 

Recognition of the splendid fighting qualities of the brigade is shown in the 
number of medals, crosses and citations bestowed upon it. General Tyson was 
awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by General Pershing for his stei'ling 
leadership during the battle activities of the brigade. One officer and seven men 
received the Congressional Medal, the highest and most coveted military honor 
that our government bestows. No other brigade in the history of the army has 
been awarded so many. Fifteen officers were decorated with the Distinguished 
Service Cross, while the same award was made to 69 enlisted men of the Brigade. 
British Military Crosses were bestowed upon 21 officers, and the British Military 
Medal conferred upon 54 men of the enlisted peisonnel. The Distinguished Con- 
duct Medal was granted to 31 men. Citations for personal bravery were given 
to 57 officers and 250 men by Major-General Lewis, the division commander. 

The brigade upon its return was a far different organization from what it 
was when its members left their homes nearly two years before. They came 
back battle-scarred veterans, bronzed and hardened from twenty months of ser- 
vice in the open under sun and rain, enduring the hardships of heat and cold. 
They served their apprenticeship in the school of war at Camp Sevier, where 
they hewed their camp and drill grounds out of pine forests and learned the rudi- 
ments of warfare from American and British instructors. They became masters 
of the art in the three months in which they were thrown against the best troops 
of the hitherto victorious German armies. They were at home equally in trench 
or in open warfare, able to cope with any foe they met, recognized as the peer 
of any troops on either side, and regarded as the superior of most of them.

COLONEL GARY F. SPENCE 

The military career of Colonel Spence extends over a period of more than two 
decades. It began with the Spanish-American war in 1S9S, when he was com- 
missioned first lieutenant and appointed regimental adjutant of the Sixth Volunteer 
Infantry. He was promoted to the rank of Captain the following year while on 
duty in Porto Rico. 

After the close of the war. Colonel Spence did not allow his interest in military 
jilTaira to lapse, but continued to be an active factor in Tennessee national guard 
circles. This lively participation in military matters led to his choice later as colonel 
nf the Thi>d Tennessee Infantry. When war with Mexico threatened in 1916, he 
recruited the regiment to full strength and led it to the border, where it saw nearly 
a year of service on guard duty. 

Colonel Spence's most active war service, however, was in the World War, 
through which he led the 117th Infantry. He accompanied it to Camp Sevier in 
September, 1917 ; directed its training in preparation for overseas duty : was its 
active commander through all the fighting in Belgium, the attack upon the Hinden- 
brrg Line, and the several battles which followed ; and he brought home the regiment 
in the spring of 1919 to be mustered out. In recognition of his leadership. Colonel 
Spence was ci'.ed in divisional orders by Major-General Lewis, while he was also the 
recipient of special honor from General Pershing in the form of a citation for his 
work upon the Western Front.

THE 117th INFANTRY 



The Third Tennessee Infantry, as the 117th Infantry was knowTi in state 
service, was a veteran organization when President Wilson called the national 
guard into federal service as a part of the great army that was to fight Germany. 
The regiment had spent nine months on the Mexican border, patrolling our south- 
ern boundary to prevent trouble with our neighbors. The regiment left Knoxville 
June 16, 1916, and did not return home until March 20, 1917, to be mustered out. 
A few weeks later, following the declaration of war, the Third Tennessee was 
again sworn into state service and ten days later into the service of the federal 
government. 

An active recruiting campaign was conducted to raise the companies to full 
strength. At the same time, infantry foot drill and physical exercises wei'e given 
daily to put the men in good physical trim and training. Recruiting and drilling 
were carried on simultaneously until the regiment assembled at Knoxville and 
departed for Camp Sevier, S. C, early in September, 1917. There, in the or- 
ganization of the Thirtieth Division, it was designated the 117th Infantry of the 
59th Brigade. 

The personnel of the officers of the regiment, together with the localities from 
which the companies were recruited, was as follows: Colonel Cary F. Spence, 
commanding, Knoxville; Lieutenant-Colonel Charles F. Brown, Chattanooga; 
Headquarters Company, of Knoxville, Captain Thomas J. Wyrick; Supply Com- 
pany, of Knoxville, Captain Roscce A. D. Stanis, 2nd Lieut. John A. Skelton; 
Machine Gun Company, of Knoxville, Captain Robert A. McMillan, 1st Lieut. 
James N. Condon, 2nd Lieut. James C. Compton, 2nd Lieut. Neal A. Reynolds. 

First Battalion — Major Charles W. Dyer, Knoxville; 1st Lieut. Oscar J. B. 
Whitehurst; Company A, of Knoxville, Captain Ernest W. Andes, 1st Lieut. Fred 
W. Fritts, 2nd Lieut. George P. Howard; Company B, of Maryville and Knox- 
ville, Captain Emerson J. Lones, 1st Lieut. Wiley W. Boring, 2nd Lieut. Robert 
M. Lindsay; Company C, of Knoxville, Captain George A. Blair, 1st Lieut. Lynn 
Z. Morris, 2nd Lieut. George W. McMillan; Company D, of Knoxville, Captain 
Harry W. Curtis, Jr., 1st Lieut. Belmont Earle, 2nd Lieut. John Walker Leach. 

Second Battalion — Major Caleb R. Hathaway, 1st Lieut. Robert W. Swatts; 
Company E, of Hampton, Captain Philip I. Brummit, 1st Lieut. Fred Baker, 2nd 
Lieut. Charles Mitchell; Company F, of Johnson City, Captain George H. Scott, 
1st Lieut. Robey Williams, 2nd Lieut. Richard K. Gibson, Jr. ; Company G, of 
Elizabethtcn, Captain E. C. Cass, 1st Lieut. Byrn H. Folsom, 2nd Lieut, Van 
Dyke Ochs; Company H, of Bristol, Captain W. A. Buckles, 1st Lieut. George 
Burrow, 2nd Lieut. Joseph Morton. 

Third Battalion — Major Dan M. Ellis, 1st Lieut. Ernest Brown; Company 1, of 
Athens, Captain Nathaniel Callen, 1st Lieut. Glenn Cauthron, 2nd Lieut. Rolfe 
Moody; Company K, of Chattanooga, Captain Ernest Bell, 1st Lieut. Harry L. 
Clark, 2nd Lieut. Amiel W. Brinkley; Company L, of Etowah, Captain David W. 
Lillard, 1st Lieut. Charles D. Walters, 2nd Lieut. William C. Boyd; Company M, 
of Tellico Plains, Captain Burley J. Pennington, 1st Lieut. Levi J. Moorehouse, 
2nd Lieut. N. E. Ellis. 

On leaving Knoxville the regiment had over 2,000 men. During the early 
fall of 1917, its strength was increased by the addition of 1676 drafted men at 
Camp Sevier. They came from Camp Gordon and were principally from Ten- 
nessee. However, about 350 men, picked from the entire regiment and chosen 
for special technical qualifications, were transferred from the il7th during the

period of training- at Camp Sevier and were ordered to special branches of the 
army in which their technical ability was needed. Their loss was more than 
taken care of by a quota of 500 draft men from the Middle West, who made a 
splendid addition to the regiment. Taking a general average of the service of 
the 117th, its enlisted personnel was about half draft and half volunteer. No 
difference or distinction was made between them, they worked into a homogeneous 
whole, and the honors won on the battlefield were divided about half and half 
between them. 

The first part of the work at Camp Sevier was clearing a camp from a pine 
forest. All military drill was impossible until the large pine trees and under- 
growth had been removed and the holes leveled. This hard physical work proved 
e.xcellent for the men, as they hardened into fine condition and most of them 
gained in weight. After fair grounds had been prepared, a strenuous daily 
schedule of infantry drill was carried out, discipline stiffened, and during the 
winter and spring of 1918, instruction was given by English officers and non- 
commissioned officers in trench warfare. During the winter, which was a very 
severe one, one officer and twenty-nine enlisted men died from disease, princi- 
pally pneumonia. During the eight months at Camp Sevier, all kinds of schools 
for officers and non-commissioned officers were held. Many of the officers went 
to other camps for training in special branches. Col. Spence and Lieut.-Col. 
Brown went to Fort Sam Houston for a course of several weeks for field officers. 

Orders were received May 2, 1918, to entrain for duty overseas, and on the 
night of May 10, 1918, the regiment went on board transports at New York. 
Some ten days later, after an attack by submarines off the Irish Coast, in which 
the convoy escaped without loss, landing was made at Liverpool, England, where 
special trains carried the regiment straight through London to Folkestone. Trans- 
ports ferried it across the English Channel by night to Calais, France. Amer- 
ican equipment was turned in there and British was issued in its stead. The 
Thirtieth Division was one of seven American divisions which were concentrated 
in the British area for training and for use in case the Germans made their 
threatened drive for the Channel ports. The enemy was said to have 20 divisions 
at this time just back of Ypres, ready to make this attack, but their withdrawal 
was made necessary later by the allied resistance on other parts of the front. 

The 117th proceeded from Calais to Norbecourt, where, under British officers 
and non-commissioned officers, the officers and men of the regiment were trained 
strenuously for five weeks. Detachments went up from time to time to the 
Canal Sector, between Ypres and Mont Kemmel, for front line work. This was 
most important, for it gave the regiment some experience in actual warfare be- 
fore it was ordered later to take over a part of the line. About July 1 the Thir- 
tieth Division was ordered to move into Belgium. The 59th Brigade, which 
crossed the border on July 4, was the first unit of American forces to enter the 
war-torn little country, which bore the first assault of the German attack in the 
world war. .':!./)) 

The 117th was assigned to Tunneling Camp, where it was given its final train- 
ing in trench warfare and in attacking strong points. After a few days of 
this work, the regiment was ordered into the battle line. One battalion held the 
front line trenches, another was kept in support, while the third was held in re- 
serve on the East Popperinghe Line. The battalions alternated in these positions 
for twenty-four days, each receiving the same amount of real front line work. On 
August 17, when it became evident that the Americans were fully able to handle 
the situation, the sector was turned over to the Thirtieth Division by the Thirty- 
third British Division, which had been stationed in the line there. The extent of 
the sector was from the southern outskirts of Ypres to Voormezeele and was 
known as the Canal Sector.

With the exception of a limited offensive, conducted in cooperation with the 
British, in which Mont Kemmel was outflanked, Voormezeele captured, and an 
advance of about 1500 yards made, the Thirtieth Division was purely on the de- 
fensive in all the fighting in Belgium. Yet this type of warfare was, perhaps, 
the most harassing through which it went during the whole war. The Gei-mans 
knew the location of every trench and their artillery played upon them day and 
night. Night bombers also made this a very uncomfortable sector, for they 
dropped tons of explosives both upon the front and at the rear. There was little 
concealment on either side, because this part of Belgium was very flat. Artificial 
camouflage provided what little deception was practiced upon the enemy. 

Tile casualties of the 117th in the two months in which it was stationed in the 
Canal Sector were not heavy. Only a few men were killed and the number of 
wounded was less than 100. King George of England and Field Marshal Haig, 
commander of the English armies, honored the regiment with a visit and made 
an inspection of its companies. 

On the night of September 4, the 117th, together with the other units of the 
division, was withdrawn from the English Second Army and placed in British 
G. H. Q. reserve. The next two weeks were given to intensive training with 
tanks, with a view to coming offensive operations with them. September 18 
trucks and busses wei'e provided and the I'egiment moved through Albert, Bray 
and Peronne to near Tincourt, just back of the celebrated Hindenburg Line. The 
Thirtieth and Twenty-Eeventh Divisions, which were the only American divisions 
left with the British, were assigned now to the British Fourth Army, General Raw- 
linson commanding, for the great attack which was soon to be launched at this 
most vital and highly fortified part of the whole line. They were fresh, they 
had shown their mettle in the defensive operations in Belgium, and so they were 
chosen for the spearhead of the attack. 

The 59th Brigade went into the line first, relieving the Australians on the 
night of September 26. The 118th Infantry took over the front line, with the 
117th Infantry in close support. The casualties of the latter were rather heavy 
from gas shells in making the relief, one company losing 62 men to the hospital. 

The celebrated Hindenburg Line, which the German commander-in-chief. Gen- 
eral von Hindenburg, built as a great defensive system to hold against captui'e 
all of France and Belgium east of it, extended from the English Channel to the 
Swiss border. It was not a local defensive system at all. Yet at various parts 
of the line there were key positions, dominating a large area, the fortifications of 
which had been made much stronger. The area between St. Quentin and Cam- 
bria held the key to the German defenses on the northern end of the line. It was 
fortified accordingly with all the ingenuity and deviltry of the Hun mind. 

In front of Bellicourt, near the center of the American sector of attack, the 
Hindenburg Line, which curved west of the St. Quentin Canal, consisted of thi-ee 
main trench systems, each protected by row after row of barbed wire entangle- 
ments. These trench systems were on high ground and gave the Germans the 
advantage of being able to sweep the whole area in front of them with machine 
guns. Along the canal were concrete machine gun emplacements. Back of this 
formidable system of defenses was the canal tunnel, built by Napoleon in 1802-10, 
and running underground for a distance of three miles. From this tunnel there 
were thirty-eight exits, each carefully camouflaged. The tunnel was lighted by 
electricity, a narrow gauge railroad brought in supplies from the outside, while 
canal boats provided quarters for a large number of men. Thus there was com- 
plete shelter for a large garrison of the enemy against heavy shelling, and in 
case of a real attack, an almost impregnable defense.

"THE THIRTIETH IN BELGIUM" 

This map shows the location of the four regiments with respect to Ypres and Kemmel Hill. They 

took over this sector from the British on August 17 and held it until September 5, 1918, when they 

were relieved to move south and take part in drive on Hindenburg Line. 




"AT THE HINDENBURG LINE" 
This map, made for Col. Gary F. Spence, of the 117th Infantry, shows operation of all Thirtieth Di- 
vision regiments from September 29 to October 20, 1918. 



102 



The attack upon this part of the line was set for the morning of September 
29, 1918. The 27th American Division was on the left, the 46th British en the 
right of the 30th American Division. The American sector passed across the tun- 
nel, but the British on the right and left were prepared to swim the canal in case 
no bridges were found to afford them passage. The assault of the infantry upon 
these fortifications was to be preceded by a bombardment of 72 hours — with gas 
shells for 24 hours and with shell and shrapnel from light and heavy artillery 
for 48 hours. 

In the Thirtieth Division sector, the 119th and 120th Infantry were assigned 
to make the opening attack, with the 117th Infantry following in close support, 
and prepared to exploit their advance after the canal had been crossed. The 
118th Infantry was held in reserve. The 119th Infantry had the left half of 
the sector, while the 120th, strengthened by Company H, of the 117th, covered 
the right half. In addition to his regimental strength. Colonel Spence, of the 
117th, had under his command for the attack 92 guns of Australian artillery, 24 
British tanks, and two extra machine gun companies. The plan of battle was 
that the regiment, following the 120th, should cross the canal between Bellicourt 
on the left and the entrance to the canal on the right, then turn at right angles, 
and proceed southeasterly down the main Hindenburg Line trench, mopping up 
this territory of the enemy for about a mile. Connection was to be made with 
the British on the right, if they succeeded in crossing the canal. 

The facts of the case are that this paper plan of battle worked out somewhat 
differently under battle conditions. Most of the assaulting companies became 
badly confused in the deep fog and smoke, strayed off somewhat from their ob- 
jectives, and their attack swung to the left of the sector. The 117th, which fol- 
lowed, went off in the opposite direction fortunately and cleaned out a territory 
which otherwise would have been left undisturbed. M'^hile it caused endless con- 
fusion and the temporary intermingling of platoons, companies, and even regi- 
ments, this pall of mist and smoke on the morning of the attack undoubtedly 
contributed to the success of the battle. The Germans did not know how to shoot 
accurately, for no targets were visible. During the morning hours it was im- 
possible for a man to see his hand more than a few inches in front of him. Men 
in the combat groups joined hands to avoid being lost from each other. Officers 
were compelled, in orienting their maps, to lay them on the ground, as it was 
impossible to read them while standing in the dense cloud of smoke and mist. 
The atmosphere did not clear up completely until after the canal had been crossed. 

The barrage for the attack went down at 5:50 a. m. The First Battalion, 
under Major Dyer, jumped off promptly on time, with C and D Companies in the 
line, A and B Companies in support. The Second Battalion followed at about 
500 yards, while the Third Battalion, with a company of engineers, was held in 
reserve on the crest of a hill. The tanks, for the most part, became separated 
from the infantry, but their work was invaluable in plowing through the barbed 
wire, which had been cut up very little by the barrage. Like nearly everyone 
else, the tanks lost sense of direction in the smoke and fog cloud, while the ma- 
jority of them were disabled before noon of the 29th. 

Most of the morning was consumed by the 117th in clearing out the area south 
and w'est of the tunnel entrance. Some units, mistaking one of the trench sys- 
tems for the canal, turned southward before actually reaching the genuine canal. 
They cleaned out thoroughly the Germans, who were in this pocket, shown on 
the accompanying map, but toward 10 o'clock turned northward and began to 
pass over the tunnel, the left flank skimming Bellicourt and the right crossing 
near the tunnel entrance. It then turned southward and mopped up the area 
assigned it. The Third Battalion, in the meanwhile, had been called from re- 
serve and joined with the 119th Infantry in the attack northeast of Bellicourt. 
The First and Second Battalions reached their objectives after vigorous fighting,

consolidated the positions they had won, and reorganized their companies, which 
had been badly scattered and mixed by the morning fog. At 8 p. m. the regiment 
was ordered to lie in support of the Australians, who had passed over earlier in 
the evening and gone forward to pursue the attack. 

The casualties of the 117th on September 29 were 26 officers and 366 men. 
Seven field pieces, 99 machine guns, 7 anti-tank rifles, many small arms and 592 
German prisoners were the trophies of the day. Though the casualties were 
rather heavy, in view of the machine gun and artillery resistance which the Ger- 
mans offered from powerfully held positions, they should be regarded as rather 
light. With a clear day, without fog or smoke, they would have been double or 
treble this number. 

The 117th was relieved from the line about noon of October 1, and before night 
the regiment was on its way back to the Herbicourt area on the Somme River 
for rest and reorganization. This period, however, was very brief, for on October 
5 orders were issued to relieve an Australian brigade. On returning the Third 
Battalion was assigned to the line, the Second was placed in support, while the 
First was made the brigade reserve. The Third Battalion had many losses in 
relieving the Australians, for the night was very dark, getting into position dif- 
ficult, and the enemy very active with his artillery and machine guns. 

The off"ensive of the division, with the 59th Brigade making the attack, was 
scheduled for the morning of October 8. In preparation for it, it was thought 
necessary to straighten a salient of about 500 yards in depth in front of the 117th 
sector. Consequently, the Third Battalion, which was in the line, attacked on 
the morning of October 7. The order of battle was Company I on the left. Com- 
pany L in the center. Company M on the right, with Company K in support and 
Company F, of the Second Battalion, in reserve. The attack started before six 
o'clock in the morning, after a heavy barrage had been laid down by the accom- 
panying artillery. In spite of heavy shelling by German machine guns and 
artillery on both flanks, especially from the towns of Ponchaux and Geneve, the 
companies made fairly good gains during the day, fighting almost every foot of 
the way. This operation was a very costly one, perhaps the most bloody of the 
whole division in proportion to the number of men engaged, for out of the bat- 
talion, 12 officers and about 400 men were either killed or wounded. 

The 59th Brigade off^ensive was launched the following morning, October 8, 
the 117th on the left, the 118th on the right. The British were on the flanks. 
The jumping off" line was northeast of Wiancourt, while the objective was slight- 
ly beyond Fremont. The First Battalion of the 117th launched the attack for 
the regiment, the Second Battalion was in close support, while the Third Bat- 
talion, which had been cut up badly the day before, was in reserve. The attack 
got off" on time in spite of the difficulties that were encountered the previous night 
in getting into position under fire and in the dark. 

In the face of furious German resistance with all kinds of machine gun nests 
and an abundance of light artillery, the battalions advanced very rapidly, skill- 
fully knocking out machine guns and maneuvering to the best advantge over the 
broken ground. The Second Battalion suffered heavy losses during the morning 
and two companies of the brigade reserve were ordered to its support. Befoi-e 
noon IMajor Hathaway, who commanded it, announced the capture of Fremont 
and his arrival at the prescribed objective. Positions were consolidated during 
the afternoon and preparations made for a possible counter-attack. The cas- 
ualties of the 117th on October 8 were the heaviest of any day of fighting in which 
it was engaged on the front. The toll of ofl:'icers and non-commissioned ofi:icers 
was especially distressing, as it cut down the number of leaders in the coming 
battles.

During the night, when all were expecting word of relief after such a stren- 
uous day in which everyone had spent himself to the utmost, orders were re- 
ceived that the brigade would continue the fight at daybreak the next morning. 
The sector was moved to the right, however, and the front of attack shortened. 
The drive started before six o'clock in the morning, after the usual barrage had 
been laid down by the artillery. In spite of the fact that this shift was made at 
night, that the two battalions had to reorganize and gather their men from the 
attack the day previous, and that the Germans kept up their bombardment by 
artillery and aeroplanes, all the companies were on the tape and the attack was 
launched on the minute. 

The resistance slackened during the day, and with the exception of a short 
check at a railroad embankment, the advance was steady toward the objective. 
The First and Second Battalions fought side by side, the Third Battalion was 
held in reserve and to further recuperate. There was a big decrease in the in- 
tensity of the hostile artillery fire during the day and the losses were light as 
compared to the day before. Busigny was captured and all objectives reached 
early in the afternoon. The 119th Infantry, of the 60th Brigade, passed over the 
regiment during the late afternoon and continued the attack. 

During these three days of fighting, October 7, 8, and 9, the regiment lost 34 
officers and 1051 men as casualties. A count of the spoils taken included 113 
machine guns, 28 field pieces, 907 small arms and about 800 prisoners. The 
great majority of the latter, 703, were captured on October 8, showing that on 
the final day the men, enraged by the losses of their comrades the day previous, 
killed most of the Germans they took. This became not an uncommon practice 
in the latter days of fighting, especially against the German machine gunners, 
who would kill or wound from their place of concealment a half platoon or more 
of men before their gun was located and put out of action. This custom of tak- 
ing no prisoners was confined to no regiment, but became common practice 
throughout the division. 

The next few days were given the 117th to rest and recuperate, a course it 
sorely needed after the exhaustion and losses of the last three days of its fight- 
ing. On the morning of October 16, however, it was called back into the line 
to relieve the 27th American Division. The First Battalion, less Company C, 
which was relieved just before the battle on account of ptomaine poisoning, 
jumped oif in a new attack the following morning, October 17. The Second 
Battalion, which followed it, caught the brunt of the enemy fire. Major Hath- 
away was wounded early in the morning, and Captain Ware, the remaining 
captain of the battalion, was sent back a short time later with a serious wound. 
Lieut. Baker, as senior officer, took command and led it the rest of the day, while 
non-commissioned officers commanded two companies because there were no of- 
ficers left. Molaine was captured by the regiment, an advance of more than a 
mile across the Selle River was made, but heavy machine gun fire held up the ad- 
vance on Ribeauville, which was protected by a railroad embankment. The 
British had been checked on the right and so it was thought inadvisable to push 
the capture of the town immediately by a frontal attack, when it might be taken 
later from the flank. 

The regiment was relieved on the night of October 17, with the exception of 
the Third Battalion, which was assigned to the support of the 60th Brigade during 
the attack the following day. The 117th remained in this area until October 20, 
when the whole division started back to the rear for rest, reorganization and 
a new supply of officers and men to bring it up again to war strength. The area 
designated was near Amiens. Expectation was that the whole division would be 
ordered back into the line about November 15, but the signing of the armistice 
put an end to any return to the battle front.

After receiving some fresh replacements, the 117th entrained for the Le Mans 
area on November 22, arriving there two days later and remaining until March 
10, 1919. An intensive schedule of drill, maneuvers, and parades was carried out, 
even during the winter months. General Pershing visited the division and re- 
viewed it during its stay here. In February, the regiment moved into the for- 
warding camp at Le Mans, went through the delousing plant and was furnished 
some personal equipment for the men. This month was one of severe trial, for 
fuel was very short, the weather was cold and rainy, and an epidemic of influenza 
ran through the camp. Some of the men, who had endured the hardships of 
battle, succumbed to the disease on the eve of returning home. On March 10 the 
ti'ains arrived to transport the regiment to St. Nazaire, from which its boat sailed 
on March 16. The transport arrived in Charleston harbor the latter days of the 
month, and the men were entrained at once for Columbia, where they were given 
their final delousing and furnished some new clothing. 

The triumphal return began the first week of April, 1919, Knoxville being 
the first stop. A reception, in which it seemed that all East Tennessee joined 
and to which the city turned out en masse, was tendered the officers and men 
in the one day of their stay. The crowd was historic in size and in enthusiasm. 
A parade through the principal business streets, which were jammed with cheer- 
ing thousands, and a banquet to every man in uniform were the principal features 
of the day. The regiment then went to Nashville where it received a similar wel- 
come. Chattanooga was the last city in which a parade was given. A splendid 
welcome was given the men and officers there. The regiment was mustered out 
of service at Fort Oglethorpe, nearby, during the middle of April. 

A resume of the regiment's laurels, as well as its losses between July 4, when 
it came under shell fire, and November 11, the date of the armistice, shows the 
following interesting figures: Prisoners captured, 17.58; machine guns 268; 
field pieces 44; small arms, about 3000; anti-tank rifles 12. Total casualties of 
officers and men were 1818, of which 81 were officers and 1737 were non-com- 
missioned officers and enlisted men. Total deaths of officers and men were 366. 
The regiment's total advance into hostile territory was 11 2-3 miles and the towns 
captured by it were Premont, Busigny and Molaine. 

No finer testimony to the bravery of both officers and men can be found than 
in the number of medals and decorations with which they were honored. Three 
men won the coveted Congressional Medal of Honor, while 126 other men and 
officers were awarded the American Distinguished Service Cross, the British Dis- 
tinguished Service Order, the British Military Cross, the Distinguished Conduct 
Medal and the Military Medal. While statistics are not available now, it is doubt- 
ful whether any regiment in our army surpassed this record in the same period 
of time. 

Major-General Lewis, commanding general of the Thirtieth Division, decor- 
ated the colors of the regiment for participation in the following engagements: 

Canal Sector, July 16-August 30. 

Ypres-Lys Offensive, August 31-September 2. 

Somme Offensive, September 20-October 20. 

He also cited the regiment in divisional orders for its distinguished conduct in 
battle. Colonel Cary F. Spence, its commanding officer, was cited by General 
Pershing for his distinguished leadership in action. The regiment also shared 
equally in the ten citations conferred upon the whole Thirtieth Division by the 
English and Australian High Command.

COLONEL JAMES A. GLEASON 



All the way from a "buck" private to a full colonel is the gamut that Col. Gleason's 
military career has run in a period of twenty-five years of almost continuous service. 
He enlisted in the Tennessee national guard in 1894 : saw service in the Spanish-American 
War with the Third Tennessee Volunteer Infantry : commissioned successively, second 
liertenant. first lieutenant, captain and lieutenant-colonel of it between 1904-12 ; and 
served with it on the Mexican border until he resigned on January 29, 1917. 

During all these years he was very active in state national guard circles and spent 
much time in keeping alive the military spirit, especially in East Tennessee. He was 
often a competitor at national rifle matches and was inspector of small arms for the 
state guard. 

After the declaration of war on Germany, Col. Gleason was largely instrumental in 
raising the Second Tennessee Infantry and received a commission as its lieutenant-colonel. 
On its dismemberment at Camp Sevier, he was transferred to the 114th Field Artillery 
with the same rank. He served through all of its campaigns on the Western Front — the 
St. Mihiel, Argonne Forest and Woevre Plain offensives and the Tovl and Woevre de- 
fensives. For his military leadership and his outstanding ability as a handler of military 
men he received his promotion to full colonel in 1919 at Le Mans, France, just before he 
sailed home to be mus'.ered out. During his army career he commanded at different 
times four regiments — the Second and Third Tennessee Infantry and the 114th and 115th 
Field Artillery. 






SECOND TENNESSEE INFANTRY 



No Knoxville organization of men made a more commendable record or par- 
ticipated more actively in the operations in Belgium and against the Hindenburg 
Line in Flanders than those who went to Camp Sevier as members of the Second 
Tennessee Infantry. Yet because this regiment was mei-ged with others in the 
organization of the Thirtieth Division and i+s officers and men scattered through 
several different units of the division, it has never received the credit and the 
glory it should have for its splendid record both in training camp and on the 
battlefield. 

The Second Tennessee was raised largely through the efforts of Colonel James 

A. Gleason, of Knoxville, who was commissioned lieutenant-colonel, with Charles 

B. Rogan, adjutant general of Tennessee, as colonel and commander of the or- 
ganization. The majority of General Rogan's time was needed in the adminis- 
tration of his state office, and so the burden of organizing most of the companies 
and the task of equipping and whipping them into military units fell largely to 
Colonel Gleason during the summer of 1917. The state was aflame with the war 
spirit and so little difficulty was experienced in raising the new regiment, the 
companies of which were liberally distributed over the three grand divisions of 
the state. 

The formal organization of the regiment was: Charles B. Rogan, of Nash- 
ville, colonel and commander; James A. Gleason, of Knoxville, lieutenant-colonel; 
Roane Waring, of Memphis, Hal Holmes, of Trenton, and James W. Birks, of 
Livingston, majors; Headquarters Company, of Nashville and Memphis, Captain 
George Hedge; Supply Company, of Nashville, Captain Harry Manners; Regi- 
mental Infirmary, of Knoxville, Major Robert H. Newman; Company A, of 
Dover and Cumberland City, Captain Thomas Miller; Company B, of Nashville 
and Fayetteville, Captain John L. Craig; Company C, of Livingston, Captain 
Timothy E. Stephens; Company D, of Crossville, Captain David Southard; Com- 
pany E, of Newport, Captain Joseph GafTney; Company F, of Bristol and Har- 
riman, Captain Thomas Fauntleroy; Company G, of Knoxville, Captain William 
H. Beckner; Company H, of Rockwood, Captain T. Asbury Wright, Jr.; Company 
I, of Trenton, Captain William W. Wade; Company K, of Dyersburg, Captain 
William G. Green; Company L, of Memphis, Captain Frazier Hinton; Company 
M, of Memphis, Captain William F. Murrah, Machine Gun Company, of Mur- 
freesboro, Captain Thomas Y. English. 

In addition to Company G and the Regimental Infirmary, of Knoxville, there 
were scores of Knoxville men who, after their enlistment at home, were trans- 
ferred to other companies of the regiment to fill them up to the necessary 
strength. In all, a fair estimate of the number of Knox County men who en- 
listed in the Second Tennessee would be between 400 and 500. They were stout, 
vigorous men, most of whom had never been in a military organization before, 
and who came straight from civil life to serve during the period of the emer- 
gency. 

The regiment entrained and departed with the other organizations of the 
state national guard to Camp Sevier in the early days of September, 1917. A 
short time after its arrival, the reorganization of the regiments of the national 
guard of Tennessee and North and South Carolina took place under the direction 
of Major-General John F. Morrison, commander of the Thirtieth Division. The 
First Tennessee Infantry was converted into the 11.5th Field Artillery; the Third 
Tennessee Infantry became the 117th Infantry; the First Tennessee Field Artil- 
lery was numbered the 114th Field Artillery; Troops A, B, and C, of Cavalry, 
were converted into the 114th Machine Gun Battalion, while Troop D, of Knox- 




109 



ville, became the Trench Mortar Battery of the division. The hardest luck fell 
to the lot of the Second Tennessee, the last Tennessee organization, which was 
made a part of the Fifty-ninth Depot Brigade, destined later to furnish many of 
the replacements for the new organizations of the division, all of which were be- 
low the new war strength. 

The transfer of the men and officers of the depot brigade did not take place 
immediately, however. Drilling was continued daily, and the same vigorous 
schedule that was outlined for the rest of the division was kept by all the com- 
panies and battalicns of the brigade. In spite of the certainty that the sepa- 
ration would come in a few days or weeks, the esprit de corps of the Second Ten- 
nessee was kept at the highest mark, and many of the men and officers refused 
voluntary transfers to other organizations. They held the faint hope that some 
change might be made by which they might be held together as a unit and go 
overseas together. 

The order for the compulsory transfer of the officers and men of the regi- 
ment came on October 22, 1917. The large majority of the men were sent to 
the 119th and 120th Infantry regiments of the Sixtieth Brigade, some few to the 
three machine gun battalions of the division, while still others went to the artil- 
lery regiments and the other units of the division. The officers were more widely 
scattered than the men. Col. Rogan was placed on the unassigned list; Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel Gleason went to the 114th Field Artillery with the same rank, but 
later received his promotion to a full colonelcy; while the line officers mainly 
stayed with the infantry regiments, though some few transferred to the artil- 
lery. The majority of them went with their men into the Sixtieth Brigade, the 
119th and 120th regiments. 

The history of the Sixtieth Brigade is largely that of the Fifty-ninth Bri- 
gade, the story of which has been told in previous pages. They fought side by 
side in Belgium and Flanders, each relieving the other to take up the drive 
against the German forces. The Sixtieth, together with units of the Fifty- 
ninth, made the assault upon the Hindenburg Line. The Fifty-ninth had the 
honor of launching the attack on October 8, while the Sixtieth took up the at- 
tack two days later. The Fifty-ninth also started the drive on October 17, which 
was taken up a day later by the Sixtieth. 

Of the honors and decorations they won, the deaths and wounds they sus- 
tained, the battles and engagements in which the individual men and officers of 
the Second Tennessee Infantry from Knox County took part, only their individual 
records, which are given elsewhere, will tell fully. They will show that these 
men won their share and did their part to the utmost. All commanders under 
whom they served paid tribute to their courage, fidelity, and soldierly qualities. 
Had they been allowed to remain together as the unit in which they were or- 
ganized, there is no doubt they would have made the same illustrious record which 
other Tennessee regiments did during the great war.

55th ARTILLERY BRIGADE 



While the infantry of the Thirtieth Division was operating with the British 
armies around Ypres in Belgium and near St. Quentin in France, the artillery, 
composed of the 113th, 114th, and 115th Field Artillery Regiments and the Trench 
Mortar Battery, making up the Fifty-fifth Artillery Brigade, was attached to 
the American divisions on the southern end of the battle line and took part in the 
St. Mihiel, Argonne Forest and Woevi-e Plain offensives. 

The separation of the artillery and infantry took place at Camp Sevier, South 
Carolina, in May, 1918, when the Thirtieth Division was ordered overseas. They 
were never together again until early in 1919, when both moved into the Le Mans 
area, France, preparatory to coming home. The artillery received its training 
for battle at Camp Coetquidan, near Rennes, France, while the infantry went 
through its preparation for fighting in the extreme northern part of France. 
The British needed infantry badly, their artillery was more plentiful. On the 
other hand, General Pershing was in greater need of artillery than of infantry 
for the operation in the St. Mihiel salient. Therefore, the Fifty-fifth Brigade 
was ordered to Toul to take part in the first Ail-American offensive instead of 
going to Belgium to support the two infantry brigades of the Thirtieth Division. 
It was used from the latter part of August, 1918, up to the close of the fighting 
on November 11 as army, or "shock" artillery, being moved from sector to sector 
as the needs of the hour for artillery were greatest. 

The majority of the men from Knox County in the artillery brigade were in 
Battery "C", of the 114th Field Artillery, and the Trench Mortar Battery. There 
were quite a few men, however, who wei'e scattered through the other organiza- 
tions of the 114th, while perhaps a dozen were members of the 115th Artillery 
Regiment. Battery "C" was recruited by Captain Roy V. Myers in the summer 
of 1917, while Captain Ambrose Gaines raised at the same time Troop D, of 
cavalry. Upon the organization of the Thirtieth Division in the fall of 1917, 
Troop D was converted into the Trench Mortar Battery of the artillery brigade. 
On the pi-omotion of Captain Myers to be a major at Camp Sevier, the command 
of his battery was taken over by Captain Reese Amis, who remained at its head 
until it was mustered out of service in April, 1919. After his arrival in France, 
Captain Gaines was compelled by illness to relinquish command of the Trench 
Mortar Battery to Lieut. Flem Hazen, who was later promoted to the rank of 
captain, and who handled it in the engagements in which it took part upon the 
front. 

For variety of experiences, observation of the many phases of fighting, and 
actual participation in the number of battles, these two Knoxville units saw ser- 
vice second to none. They were in the line fighting from the latter part of 
August, 1918, when they entered the Toul sector, until the hour of the armistice 
on the morning of November 11. They were in three major engagements — the 
St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne and Woevre Plain offensives — and two minor opera- 
tions — the defense of the Toul and Woevre sectors. They were a part, at dif- 
ferent times, of the First, Second, Third American armies and the Fourth French 
army. They were attached to six American and French corps and served with 
seven American divisions, supporting the 89th, 37th, 32nd, 79th, and o3rd in 
battle operations. 

The first large engagement in which they took part was the attack on the St. 
Mihiel salient, September 12 to 14, 1918. They were in the very vi:n of the 
fighting, their positions being just behind the infantry lines at Flirey in the cen- 
ter of the drive on the right side of the pocket. They lost no men in the initial 
attack, and followed the infantry forward to Bouillonville as soon as the engi- 



112 



neers could build a road across the old German trenches. On the third day after 
the fighting began, when they had penetrated as far forward as Beney, the order 
came for the whole brigade to leave the sector and move to the Argonne Forest 
to take part in the offensive there. 

This move of about 100 miles was the bitterest test to which the brigade was 
subjected. The horses for pulling the guns had been exhausted in the prepara- 
tion for and participation in the previous fighting, the men were worn out, their 
nerves were frayed from lack of sleep and rest, and rations were pitifully short. 
All marching was done by night, beginning at sundown and continuing until day- 
light the next morning. The nights were cold and clammy, and many of the men 
became sick. The woods in which they often slept by day were little better than 
swamps. 

They arrived, however, by forced marches and went into position on the night 
of September 24. By working most of the day and part of the following night 
in digging trail pits and bringing up ammunition, all batteries were ready and 
took part in the huge bombardment over a 20-mile front on the morning of Sep- 
tember 26, signalling the opening of the greatest and longest battle in which 
American arms ever took part. That afternoon they followed the infantry for- 
ward through Avocourt toward Montfaucon, the German strong-point of the 
Argonne sector. They went forward again the following day, taking positions 
just back of and to the left of Montfaucon, remaining there for several days be- 
cause the infantry had trouble in advancing the lines against the German resis- 
tance. This was overcome after two or three days and the artillery moved into 
the vicinity of Ivoiry and Epinonville. There it remained until withdrawn on 
October 6. 

The Woevre sector was held then until November 8, when the preparations be- 
^an for the great offensive of the Second American Army to outflank Metz with 
the aid of the First American Army. All units of the brigade moved forward 
into the Woevre Plain on the night of November 10 and were ready for the drive 
toward Conflans, when the announcement of the armistice put an end to the 
fighting the next morning after a few rounds had been fired. It was a very 
fortunate termination for the brigade, for most of its batteries were out upon 
an open plain, with little protection, and subject to direct fire by the enemy's 
artillery. Had the fighting continued during the day of November 11, the 
casualties undoubtedly would have been very heavy. 

In December, 1918, about a month after the close of hostilities, the brigade 
moved forward with the 33rd Division as a part of the Army of Occupation. 
Their route lay through Conflans, Longwy, Luxemburg, and on to the German 
border. There they were halted, but before the orders to turn back into the 
center of Luxemburg arrived. Battery "C", which was at the head of the brigade, 
drove over the bridge into Germany. Thus it was the oiihi unit of the 30th Di- 
vision which actrally got into Germany. Shortly after January 1, the brigade 
was ordered to rejoin the division at Le Mans. The march was made back through 
Luxemburg and France to Trondes, near Toul, where special trains carried the 
regiments to the Le Mans area. Enroute the worst accident of the months in 
France befell the brigade. A train wreck occurred in which twenty-three men 
wei-e killed and many more injured near Chaumont. Two of the men killed were 
members of Battery "C". 

The Trench Mortar Battery received orders to return home ahead of the rest 
of the division. It went to Brest for debarkation, reached Newport News on 
March 6, 1919, and was mustered out a week later. The remainder of the bri- 
gade, including Battery "C", left France early in March and reached America 
some two weeks later. The mustering out took place at Fort Oglethorpe, after 
parades through Knoxville, Nashville, and Chattanooga, where the regiments 
were greeted with tremendous crowds. Ihe discharges were handed the men 
on April 7, 1919.

These groups are of the 280 men, inducted into service May 24, 1918, at Knoxville. It was the lar- 
gest single group inducted into service from Knox County through the draft call and they were 
given a great [:end-off at the federal building and a parade to the railroad station. Most of them 
were assigned later to the Second Corps Artillery Park.

SECOND CORPS ARTILLERY PARK 



Pursuant to a special call issued by the War Department for an additional 
55,000 men, 280 young men of Knoxville and Knox County were formally mus- 
tered into the service of the United States on Tuesday, May 21, 1918. Exactly 
two months later a large proportion of these men steamed into the harbor of 
Brest, France, as members of the various units of Second Corps Artillery Park. 
Befoi'e the signing of tlie armistice, this Knox County contingent had actively 
participated in four of the greatest battles of the war — a record achieved by 
few units of the American Expeditionary Forces and excelled by still fewer. 

The Second Corps Artillery Park was known as an artillery auxiliary unit. 
At no time was it attached to any division, but was placed where its services 
were most needed. This meant its labor scarcely lapsed from the time the unit 
landed in France July 21, 1918, until its broken remnants set sail for home in 
-July, 1919. From August 10-15, the Second Corps Artillery Park served with 
the American forces in the latter part of the Aisne-Marne offensive, which com- 
prised all fighting in the famous Chateau-Thierry district and is commonly 
known as the Second Battle of the Marne. September 12-15 it was engaged with 
the American First Army in the St. Mihiel drive. For weeks previous to this 
battle, however, the organization worked tirelessly on the Toul fi-ont in prep- 
aration for the offensive. September 17 to October 17 it was attached to the 
Second French Army and actively engaged in the Oise-Aisne offensive. October 
17 to November 11 it did valiant work with the Fifth Army Corps of the Ameri- 
can First Army in the historical battle of the Argonne Forest. Three times the 
organization was cited by the ranking generals of the American and Fi'ench 
armies for valuable results accomplished during tliese offensives. 

Boarding a special train at Knoxville Friday, May 24, 1918, after one of the 
most patriotic and enthusiastic demonstrations ever accorded a departing unit, the 
men reached Fort Thomas, Kentucky, the following day, were quickly examined 
and outfitted, and at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning started for Camp .Jackson, 
South Carolina, as field artillery replacements. Reaching Camp .Jackson early 
Monday evening, they were assigned to a field artillery replacement depot and 
during that week received their first training in the rudiments of soldiery. How- 
ever, their experience as field artillery replacements was destined to be of short 
duration. 

Saturday, .June 1, the men were ordered to move to another part of the camp 
and there were assigned to the new organization known as the Second Corps Ar- 
tillery Park. This unit, destined to be a motorized outfit, was composed of six 
truck companies of 140 men each and one company of 250 men known as the 
Pai-k Battery, making a total of approximately 1,100 men, and comprising a 
majority of the 280 Knox County boys and about 100 from Louisville, Ky. 
Practically the entire remainder of the new unit hailed from Ohio, Pennsylvania, 
Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine. 

The regiment was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel H. H. Rogers, of New 
York. Knoxville and Louisville men were assigned entirely to Companies A, B 
and the Park Battery. The original duties of the organization in the battle 
area was to repair and replace disabled artillery pieces, but, after reaching 
France, the work assigned to the six truck companies was almost wholly that of 
hauling ammunition. The Park Battery was placed in charge of various am- 
munition depots and of loading and unloading trucks, a gruelling labor contin- 
ually beset by the danger of enemy artillery and aeroplane attacks. 

After one month of intensive military training, the Second Corps Artillery 
Park entrained July i for Camp Stuart, Newport News, Virginia. The or- 
ganization was reoutfitted, received its final overseas examination and early on 




115 






the morning of July 10 boarded the former Pacific liner Matsonia, which was 
accompanied by four other transports and escorted by two torpedo boat chasers. 
On July 13, they were joined by six transports, a cruiser and two destroyers 
that had embarked from the port of New York. Reaching the war zone July 18, 
all men were required to assemble at their respective life rafts at 7:30 o'clock 
each evening and remain there until dark — about 10:30 o'clock in that latitude 
during the summer. They were assembled there again at 2:30 o'clock in the 
morning and remained until breakfast, such precautions being taken because of 
the likelihood of submarine attack during either twilight or dawn. However, the 
voyage was made wholly without incident and the dawn of July 21 brought the 
joyful sight of the dim outlines of Brest, France. 

After enduring the rain, mud, and flies of the celebrated Pontanazen Barracks 
until Wednesday morning, July 24, the men boarded a train that was to carry 
them to their work on the battle front. After riding 22 hours, however, they 
awakened to find themselves once more in Brest, a change in orders having 
turned them about and brought them again to their starting point. For the next 
week the members of the regiment were used on the docks of Brest as stevedores. 
On August 1, part of the men were ordered to Havre and Bordeaux for trucks, 
while the remainder started overland in trucks that were to be part of the reg- 
iment's equipment and driven by its own men. Friday, August 9, the overland 
contingent, after traveling 425 miles, reached the destroyed village of Mont St. 
Pere, nine kilometers east of the famous city of Chateau-Thierry and situated 
on the north bank of the beautiful Marne River. Here the remainder of the 
regiment was awaited and to the east of Mont St. Pere the first work in the 
battle areas was done. The fighting in this vicinity was known as the Aisne- 
Marne off'ensive. 

Wednesday, August 14, camp was broken and, with its 167 steel-bodied am- 
munition trucks, the regiment traveled to a point seventeen kilometers west of 
Chateau-Thierry. There it remained until the following Tuesday, when once 
more a long trip overland was started which ended near the city of Toul, August 
24. After three days of work towing artillery and transporting French troops, 
the regiment moved its camp into a dense forest several miles north of Toul and 
only a short distance from the German front lines. During the stay here the men 
received their first real taste of actual warfare. Continually beset by the dangers 
of artillery and aeroplane fire, ammunition was hauled nightly for two weeks 
in pitch darkness over dangerously slippery roads, heavy with war traffic of all 
kinds. On the afternoon of August 29, two well-placed German artillery pro- 
jectiles touched off an ammunition dump several aci'es in area, which was main- 
tained by the organization, and to which its trucks had been hauling shells. Two 
terrific explosions rocked the earth and the sound of bursting shells continued 
all through the night. Fortunately, no one was hurt. 

During the great St. Mihiel off'ensive which followed on September 12, many 
of the trucks continued to supply the big guns with ammunition all through the 
night of the opening attack. The following day a hundred Second Corps Artil- 
lery Park trucks loaded with shells started a slow trail in the wake of che 
swiftly advancing Yanks. Over roads blown to atoms by artillery fire and 
through a maze of traffic, travel was slow, indeed, and it was the evening of 
September 15 before they reached a point southwest of Metz, unloaded and re- 
turned to camp. This ended the work in the St. Mihiel offensive. 

September 17 the regiment again broke camp and moved to the village of 
Lavoye, twenty kilometers southwest of the devasted city of Verdun. After a 
short stay there, headquarters were moved to Fleury-sur-Aire, where for the 
next thirty days the regiment hauled ammunition for the Second French Army, 
to which it had been attached for the Oise-Aisne offensive. The work of the 
companies was done principally in the vicinity of Verdun. This was a month 
of severe hardships, of work by day and by night.

The regiment was relieved from duty witli the Second French Army on Octo- 
ber 17 and immediately assigned to the Fifth Army Corps of the American First 
Army. The battle of the Argonne Forest was then in full swing and, day after 
day, night after night, the companies of the regiment were constantly on the road 
hauling ammuniticn to our batteries of artillery which were slowly 
blasting a way forward for the infantry. Often times these trips were of sixty 
to seventy-two hours duration and were always made under continuous shell fire 
and unspeakable hardships. Rain fell almost constantly and the trucks, being 
coverless, gave no protection from the constant downpour. 

By November 4 the American army had advanced so far north that it became 
necessary to move camp near the one-time village of Very, and finally to the 
village of Gesnes, about .3-5 kilometers northwest of the city of Verdun and in 
the very heart of the upper Argonne. During the last stages of the Meuse-Ar- 
gonne drive many Second Corps boys dauntlessly ran their trucks through shell 
fire in plain view of the enemy gunners, and on one occasion a few trucks out- 
distanced the infantry and unloaded cases of shells at the edge of the village 
of Beauclaire while the Germans yet occupied the town. One detachment of 
Second Corps trucks advanced with the artillery to the edge of the city of Sedan. 
Their forward movement was only stopped by the signing of the armistice. 

All kinds of rumors were circulated after November 11 as to what would be 
done with the Second Corps Park. They ranged from the statement that the 
regiment would go into Germany as a part of the Army of Occupation, to the 
report that it would return immediately to parade in Washington on Christmas 
day. What it did do for the next two months was to haul salvage of every sort 
and description from off' the battlefields to the numerous points of concentration. 
The greater part of this work lay on the old Verdun battlefield, a devastated 
area so wasted, so dead, so barren after a four-year scourge of hell-fire that 
it had become a combined desert and charnel house. For awhile the hauling of 
hand grenades was the chief occupation, but after one truck load blew up, the 
regiment was relieved from further hauling of these dangei'ous little missiles. 

Finally, orders came to depart and on .January 20 the Second Corps Park 
entrained at Dun-sur-Meuse for Brest, which was reached January 23 after 
sixty-eight hours of travel in box cars too crowded to lie down and with the 
weather very wintry. After two weeks of suspense, the regiment became a 
skeleton organization of 76 men and the remainder transferred to Bi'est Casual 
Companies 239, 240, 241, 242, and 243. As casual companies, some men were used 
as truck drivers, some as military police, others as stevedores and mechanics, 
while others drew special duty with the Motor Transport Corps. This lasted 
until May, 1919, when all were relieved, supposedly to depart for home. How- 
ever, after three weeks' labor with pick and shovel, building a railroad, all were 
restored to their original status and once more took up the old duties. Early 
in July, though, the glad day finally arrived when the last member of the or- 
ganization bade a final farewell to the shores of France and soon arrived home 
after one year's foreign service well done.

OUR NAVY IN THE WAR 



The hundreds of Knox Countians, who cast their lot with the navy and went 
to sea during the world war, made the same splendid record and wrote as glo- 
rious a page in local history as their brothers who chose the ai-my and fought the 
Huns on land. They ably upheld the traditions established a half century ago 
by Farragut and Maynard as the g-uardians of our flag upon the trackless paths 
of the ocean. Theirs was not so spectacular a task, nor did they receive the pub- 
licity and prominence which other branches of the service did. Yet the two 
million soldiers, who sailed to France under the convoy of our fleet, know the 
relentless vigil and the hourly peril that the men of the navy underwent that our 
armies, with the food and equipment for them, might reach the battle line in 
safety. 

For nineteen months they braved the dangers of the sea upon battleships and 
cruisers, submarines and merchantmen. They stood guard with the English at 
the mouth of the Kiel Canal to await the appearance of the German fleet for 
battle, they hunted the seas upon destroyers and chasers to ferret out the hostile 
submarines, they manned the transport vessels that plied the Atlantic in trans- 
porting our troops to France. There was little relief or rest for them, for their 
vessels were at sea the great majority of the time. They were ever under the 
shadow of death from the monsters that lurked beneath the waters. 

The navy was the one department of our government which was ready for 
action when war was declared. Within a few hours after the passage of the war 
resolution. Admiral Sims was gathering a fleet of destroyers and preparing to 
sail for Queenstown, England. In less than a month they were on guard duty 
in European waters. It is worthy of more than passing comment that in all the 
criticism and vituperation, which flooded the nation in its mad frenzy to get 
ready adequately for the war, and in the series of investigations which followed its 
close, thei-e was never any abuse or evil said of the navy. It went through the 
trying period without scandal or investigation. Its efficiency was so thorough 
that no partisan or political attack was made upon it. 

Of the varied work which our navy did during the war, perhaps the greatest 
and most elTectual was in the convoy and transportation of troops and supplies 
to Europe. While the English merchant marine gave great assistance by fur- 
nishing the vessels for a great deal of this work, the larger part of it was done by 
our own navy. This v>-as work of the most vital nature, for the cries and pleas 
of our allies for more, more men in the spring and summer of 1918 were insistent. 
Defeat stared them in the face unless they had more divisions to check the German 
onslaughts. Every sea-going vessel that our government owned, which was not 
absolutely needed in some other phase of work, was manned by the men of the 
navy and put into the transportation service. 

The convoy system, which was worked out as a means of avoiding the heavy 
losses of the British, who sent out ships alone upon the sea to become the prey 
of the submarines, consisted of collecting several troop or cargo vessels into a 
group, sailing from the same port at the same time. There were usually a dozen 
or more of these craft which put to sea as a unit, and which followed a well 
known lane across the ocean. Cruisers and the older battleships protected them 
from German raiders, while a flotilla of destroyers met them when they entered 
the danger zone and guarded them against submarine attack. If the submarines 
dared to appear in their midst, the transpoi'ts scattered to avoid making them- 
selves targets, but the fighting craft attacked with guns and depth bombs. After 
several encounters, in which they learned the system of defense that had been 
adopted, the submarines became more wary of attack upon these groups and con- 



(illViflii(llllll!(i(llll(lillii l llill l ' l illlll l ll(lllfllllllllli ^ ^ 



119 



fined their attention more and more to unprotected vessels on the high seas. The 
fear, which swept over the American people at the beginning of the war because 
of the submarine terror, gradually subsided as every transport vessel bound for 
France with ti'oops arrived there in safety. 

That not a single ship of the hundreds, which transported two million men to 
France, was torpedoed while eastward bound, and that only three — the President 
Lincoln, the Antilles, and the Covington — were sunk on return trips to America, 
is eloquent proof of the success of the convoy system and of the vigilance e.xerted 
by our cruisers and destroyers against would-be attackers. The submarine 
pei'il, which reached its apex about the time this nation entered the war, steadily 
declined thereafter. Our own losses at sea were insignificant in proportion to the 
amount of tonnage that was exposed in the nineteen months of our participation 
in the war to the attacks of the submarines. While complete figures are not 
available, statistics for several months indicate that the sinkings of all American 
vessels by mines and torpedoes were somewhat less than one per cent of our 
tonnage. 

While a part of our fleet was guarding transport and cargo vessels, the rest 
of it was waging an active, offensive warfare on the submarines upon the high 
seas and around the channel ports, standing guard with the British fleet at the 
mouth of the Kiel Canal, planting mines in the strategic areas in the North or 
Mediterranean Seas, or patrolling our long coast line against hostile attacks. Only 
three fighting ships were lost as a result of enemy action. They were the 
Alcedo, a converted yacht; the Jacob Jones, a converted torpedo boat destroyer; 
and the San Diego, a cruiser. None of the larger and heavier battle ships were 
injured. 

Some of the most effective, as well as the most dangerous work done by our 
navy was in the laying of mines. These made a gi'eat barrier against the escape 
of the German fleet and the slipping out of an occasional raider to prey upon 
commerce. The seas between Norway and Scotland, which were the main outlet, 
were planted with thousands of mines by special mine layers. To the south, the 
American navy had another force of vessels Which cooperated with the British 
in sweeping the English Channel of these menaces to the safety of transport 
ships. 

On land the navy's activities were not inconsiderable. No unit or branch of 
the service showed greater bravery or won more laurels during the war than 
the men of the marine corps. Their deeds at Belleau Woods, Bouresches, Soissons, 
St. Mihiel and in the Argonne Forest have been told in song and story. The 
personnel of this peculiar branch of the navy, which is trained for both land and 
sea duty, was of the very highest. They proved their valor on field after field 
of battle. Their defense of Belleau Woods is one of the epics of the war. Of 
the eight thousand who were picked for service in France, more than a half were 
killed or wcunded. 

The most notable need of our army in France was artillery. The French fur- 
nished Genei-al Pershing with the lighter calibers, but there was a deficiency of 
heavy, Icng range guns. The ordnance department of the navy came to the 
rescue by designing and constructing a battery of 14-inch rifles, shipping them 
across the seas en special mounts, and transporting them across France to the 
American front on special cars. They threw a projectile weighing 1400 pounds 
and had a range of about 20 miles. They were used with great efl"ect in bom- 
barding towns and strong points far in the rear of the German lines. Their 
military efl'ect was far superior to that of the German "Big Berthas," which ter- 
rified Paris. In spite of their tremendous size and weight, they were thoroughly 
mobile and capable of being moved on shoi't notice to other parts of the front.

In the execution of the innumerable demands made upon it by the require- 
ments of the war, the navy underwent an expansion and growth almost in pro- 
portion to that of the army. The number of officers was increased from 4,37(i to 
10,409, the enlisted personnel from 62,667 to 216,968. The men and officers, 
who were members of the naval reserve in time of peace, also were called to 
active duty during the war. The number of officers was enlarged from 877 to 
21,622, while the personnel of the enlisted men was raised to 289,639, of whom 
about 8,000 were women. 

At the close of the war, our navy had 40 battleships of the first-class, 32 
cruisers, 12.5 destroyers, 17 torpedo boats, 68 submarines, 303 submarine chasers, 
79 mine planters and sweepers, 56 yachts on patrol duty, 33 gunboats, 8 monitors, 
and a few other ships used for special duties. Furthermore, our navy was man- 
ning 50 troop transports, 230 cargo transports, 50 patrol vessels, and 175 barges. 
The total number of ships operated at the end of the war was about 2,000, as 
compared with 250 when the war begun. 

Our navy had moved from third into second place among the naval powers of the 
world, displacing Germany and ranking next to England. With the additions 
made in the few months following the war as the result of construction begun 
before that time, the gap that separated us in naval strength from first place 
upon the seas was cut down materially.

OUR AIR SERVICE 



The glamor of the aeroplane drew scores of the young men of Knox County 
into its service during the world war. The fascination of the air, the thrill of 
spectacular combat high above the battle lines, the prospect of long flights far 
into enemy territory, the glory and fame with which the successful aviator was 
crowned, made a strong appeal to the young American with strong nerve and 
hardy constitution. 

That only two — Lieut. McGhee Tyson and Lieut. Claude O. Lowe — lost their 
lives of the scores of Knox Countians who risked them, either as pilots or as ob- 
servers, speaks for the safety of this apparently very hazardous branch of the 
service. Lieut. Tyson, who was in the naval aviation branch, made his sacrifice 
in a flight ofl" the French coast, while Lieut. Lowe was killed in the smash of his 
plane at Arcadia, Florida. 

While some got across and into action, the majority of the Knox County men 
in the air service suff'ered the same misfortune as the larger number of those 
who enlisted in the air department — they were still in the United States when 
the armistice came on November 11, 1918. Some of them were at the port, ready 
to sail. This failure to reach Europe was no fault of theirs, for statistics show 
that of the qualified flying officers, less than one in three left the United States. 
Sufficient service planes had not been produced to equip the flyers who were al- 
ready in France, not to speak of the thousands on this side who were aching to 
meet the Huns. 

The air program of the United States went through a multitude of vicissitudes, 
of bright promises and bitter disappointments before it became stabilized and was 
finally put upon an eflicient war basis. Because of the lack of planes, our airmen 
did not become an active, decisive force in the air until the last two months of 
the war. When war was declared in April, 1917, the United States government 
had .55 serviceable planes, all of which were obsolete as compared with foreign 
models, and entirely unsuited to war conditions. Congress at once appropriated 
.$600,000,000 for our air program. The confident prediction was made through 
newspapers and magazines that the United States would have 10,000 planes on 
the battle front in a year, a force suflicient to drive the Germans down and give 
the allies an overwhelming superiority. 

The program, however, received jolt after jolt. German spies in factories 
held up quantity production of training planes and ruined all of a certain model, 
making its abandonment necessary. Divided management and a change in direc- 
tors of the whole air program further complicated the situation. A great deal of 
time was necessary in making tests and fitting the foreign designs to our 12-cyl- 
inder Liberty Motor, which proved our chief contribution to aviation. Diffi- 
culty was encountered in getting out the great quantity of spruce, fir, linen and 
other materials that are necessary in the construction of planes. Due to these 
and a great number of other difficulties, spring of 1918 came before the kinks 
in the air program were smoothed out and factories settled down to turn out 
planes and engines on a quantity basis. 

After much experimenting and consultation with English and French aviation 
officials, it was decided to concentrate American production of a quantity scale 
on four types of machines: (1) the De Havilland observation and bombing 
plane; (2) the Handley-Page night bomber; (.3) the Caproni bomber; (4) the 
Bristol fighting plane. Only the first was produced in quantity before the end 
of the war. Equipped with the Liberty Motor, it proved the fastest observation 
plane on the western front. About 700 were used in actual warfare, nearly 
2000 more were in France, and liOO were being turned out monthly at home

when the armistice came. Two new models of planes, the Le Pere two-seater 
fighter and the Martin bomber, were developed and under tests made better per- 
formances than any known machines of their class. Neither was completed nor 
produced in quantity for use on the front. Liberty motors were manufactured 
much faster than planes. About 13, .500 were accepted from the factories up to 
the time of the armistice, 44.35 of these being shipped overseas for use. The 
British and French recognized the superiority of this engine and made contracts 
for large numbers of them. 

American flyers, organized into strictly American squadrons, got their first 
real chance on the front in April, 1918, when two observation and one pursuit 
group, comprising about 3.5 planes, wei'e assigned a definite sector. Their success 
was so immediate and thorough that the French readily turned over more planes 
to the Americans and the sector was widened considerably. In May, the number 
of American squadrons was increased to 9; in June to 14, in July to 15, in August, 
when the De Havillands began to arrive from America, to 25; in September to 
30; in October to 42, and in November to 45 complete squadrons. In the early 
months, all of our squadrons were equipped with foreign planes, principally 
French. This continued until August 10, 1918, when the first American manu- 
factured planes were put on the front. The supply grew rapidly in the next 
three months, and on the day of the armistice 667 of the 2698 planes our aviators 
were using were of American construction. 

The first large air opei'ation in which our squadrons took part was the St. 
Mihiel attack, for which General Pershing assembled the most foi'midable air 
force that was gathei'ed during the war for a battle. French, British and En- 
glish contributed some of their very best fighting squadrons. Our aviators, who 
were about one-third of the w'hole foi'ce employed, were organized into 12 pur- 
suit, 12 observation and 3 bombing squadrons. We also had 15 balloon companies 
in operation. The American supremacy in the air during the two days of the 
attack was very decided. The enemy planes wei'e kept on the ground largely, 
while ours went far behind the lines, located the German reserves, spotted am- 
munition dumps and enemy concentrations, and directed the long range artillery 
fire. 

In the long struggle of six weeks in the battle of the Argonne Forest, which 
followed, American aviation was put to its most severe test. A great deal of 
the French and English aviation, which was loaned for the St. Mihiel operation, 
was withdrawn for use with their armies, but our increased production of planes 
somewhat made up for this loss. There was bitter fighting for the control of the 
air. The Germans drew to this front more than a proportionate amount of their 
very best planes and pilots. So vital an attack called forth their very best. 
Losses were heavy on both sides, but the enemy got the worst of it by a large 
edge. The American bombing, pursuit and observation squadrons did excellent 
work, getting far behind the German lines, bombarding day and night their lines 
of communication and ammunition dumps, and swooping down to the attack of 
any concentration of troops in the rear. 

The test of battle showed the individual superiority of the Americans in the 
air. The Germans, during the few months which American aviators participated 
in the war, brought down 357 of our planes, while our aviators put 755 of the 
Hun machines out of commission. On the day of the armistice, there wei'e 45 
American squadrons, 1238 American flying officers and 740 service planes operated 
by them on the front. About 2500 flying officers were in reserve, while 7000 others 
in the United States lacked but a short specialized course of being equipped for 
battle duty. Had the war continued until the spring of 1919, the American air 
force in numbers and in equipment would have been far superior to that of any 
nation on either side. It would have been independent of all aid and ready to re- 
pay our allies for the generous assistance they rendered us while our air program 
was getting under way.

GENERAL ROBERT EMMET CALLAN 

Graduating from West Point in 1896. General Callan saw service in tlie Spanish-American 
War as a lieutenant. He rose step by step until he had reached the rank of lieutenant-colonel 
in 1917. being stationed in the Philippine Islands as chief of staff. On the outbreak of war, 
he asked to be sent to France on active duty. 

He sailed in command of the 63rd Regiment. Coast Artillery Corps, on March 24, 1918. 
After participation in the Second Battle of the Marne, he was made brigadier-general and 
put in command of the 33rd Brigade, C. A. C. He was relieved of this to become head of 
the great artillery training school at La Borne, France, where eight regiments were trained 
at a time. 

General Callan was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by General Pershing on 
June IZ, 1919, and later the Cross of the Crown of Italy from the Italian Government.

THE BATTLE OF ST. MIHIEL 




Salient is the military term for the very common words "pocket" and "wedge." 
The St. Mihiel salient, the elimination of which was the first big, concerted, of- 
fensive operation of our forces in large number in France, was a deep pocket 
driven into the French lines in the fall of 1914 by the German armies in their 
attempt to outflank Verdun, whose forts held the key to the defense of Eastern 
France. The right edge of this wedge, as a glance at the map will show, was 
just above Pont-a-Mousson, while the left edge was at Les Eparges, a few miles 
southeast of Verdun. 

This pocket, always the deepest and sharpest on the western front, was some 
18 miles across from base to base, and slightly over 13 miles in depth. Yet meas- 
uring around its perimeter, it was no less than 40 miles in extent. To pinch off 
or close the salient meant shortening the line about 22 miles. 

There were other considerations than the decrease in battle front which caused 
General Pershing to select this as the sector of attack of the First American 
Army. For four years this pocket had been a threat to Verdun, about which 
the Germans had closed on the northern and eastern side. If the left side of 
the wedge above St. Mihiel was driven still farther westward, Verdun would be 
virtually cut off and the French forces therein surrounded and captured. Fur- 
thermore, the German advance at the deepest point of the pocket barely cut the 
main raih-oad from Paris to Verdun, Toul, Epinal and Belfort, a double-track 
line that linked up the great fortresses of Eastern France. This had been a great 
loss, for it interfered with the speedy movements of troops from one sector to 
another of the southern battle front. It had been necessary for four years to 
transport troops by a single track line farther south, much longer and burdened 
with all traffic to Toul and Nancy. 

As an ofl'ensive stroke, the closing of the St. Mihiel salient was fraught with 
equally great possibilities. It meant the restoration of about 150 miles of French 
territory, which was under the yoke of its German oppressors ; the reversal from 
a threat to surround Verdun to a very decided menace of an allied attack upon 
Metz, the left hinge and base of the German battle line; the establishment of a 
straight base line from which attacks could be launched toward Conflans at the 
coal and iron fields of Briey and Longwy, the German mineral basins, and at the 
great railroad arteries through Sedan, Montmedy and Metz. 

Several desperate attempts had been made by the French earlier in the war 
to straighten out their lines and relieve the pressure on Verdun. In the spring 
of 1915, they struck a hard blow with large numbers at Les Eparges on the 
western flank. The attack was continued several weeks and both sides left 
thousands of dead on the field of battle. The Germans were estimated to have 
lost 30,000 killed in this series of operations, while the French casualties were 
even heavier. Outside of local gains, the attack was unsuccessful. The French 
resumed their drive in the summer on the other side of the pocket at Apremont, 
attempting to crush in that flank. The fighting was bitter and the French made 
some headway, but all was lost in a counter-offensive of the Germans in the fall 
of 1915. After that nothing was done on either side for three years, as the tide 
of active operations shifted to other sectors. Both sides improved their defensive 
fortifications, but neither assumed the offensive. The lines were held by divisions 
that needed rest and recuperation from operations elsewhere. 

The military strategy employed by General Pershing in the reduction of this 
salient is explained very well by a homely illustration. Pont-a-Mousson and Les 
Eparges, the bases of the pocket, were the hinges of two great doors which 
opened outward in the direction of St. Mihiel. If the doors were swung together 
on these hinges, they would meet just north of Vigneulles and form a straight 
line. To accomplish this, it was necessary for the divisions on the left flank to 



El 



127 




work eastward, while those on the right side made their way northwesterly to 
join them. The attacks had to be so timed that the flanks would arrive at the 
junction point at the same time. It was necessary also that the maneuver be 
accomplished <iuickly to cut off the German forces at the bottom of the pocket 
and prevent their escape. 

For the successful execution of this operation, General Pershing withdrew 
from the Marne salient the eight divisions, which were engaged there in the hot 
fighting of June and July, 1918; brought from other quiet sectors several divisions 
which were receiving their training in trench warfare ; and transported clear 
across France from their training camps still other divisions which had had no 
actual battle experience. The organization of the First American Army and 
the commencement of assembly of all the units that were to take part in the 
attack began August 10. The plans of the general staff provided for the con- 
centration of about 600,000 troops of all arms and bi-anches, together with their 
weapons and material, for the operation. As it was planned as a surprise, all 
movements were conducted by night. No troops or signs of unusual activity 
were visible on the roads by day. But with the fall of night, all highways were 
jammed with trucks, guns, ammunition, tanks, and wagons, going forward in 
position for the drive. The front line trenches were held lightly so that the 
enemy might not suspect the blow that was being aimed at him. Complete suc- 
cess depended upon overwhelming him before he could adequately man with his 
reserves the powerful defensive fortifications he had built. 

The moral and psychological value of the operation's success was almost as 
great as the military advantages to be obtained. While the American divisions 
had fought splendidly when brigaded with the British and French, they had con- 
ducted no offensive on their own initiative and under Iheir ovvm leadership. The 
elimination of the salient would be the acid test of their offensive ability, while 
the successful execution of a task at which the French had failed for four years 
would not only inspire respect and courage in our allies as well as strike terror 
in the hearts of the Germans, but the American people would be aroused to the 
highest pitch of enthusiasm by an action in which our fresh, vigouous troops were 
pitted successfully against their much vaunted German foes. 

The plans of the attack were worked out to the minutest detail by the army 
staff. The hour and minute at which the barrages were to be laid down, the rate 
of advance of the infantry behind them, the sector of attack of each division, the 
objectives of each day's fighting were mapped out carefully in advance, and all 
commanders, from division down to platoon leaders, were rehearsed on the pai-ts 
assigned to each. Special stress was laid upon the effective cooperation of all 
arms, infantry, artillery, aviation, tanks, machine guns, engineers and supply 
trains. The French were of very great assistance, for in addition to loaning us 
much artillery, many of their best bombing and scout planes, and all of the 
tanks that were used in the attack, they contributed three divisions for the very 
delicate operations against the German troops at the nose of the salient. 

The infantry of nine American divisions was assigned to make the attack on 
the two flanks of the pocket, crush them in by frontal assaults, close to the center, 
and capture the garrison of several thousand men at its bottom. On the right 
flank, strung from Pont-a-Mousson as a pivot, was the First Corps, commanded 
by General Liggett, and composed of the 82nd, 90th, 5th and 2nd divisions. Gen- 
eral Dickman commanded the Fourth Corps, made up of the 89th, 42nd and 1st 
divisions, which were stationed in the center of attack and upon the left of the 
First Corps. Upon the left of the Fourth Corps, and strung lightly around the 
tip of the salient from Xivray to Mouilly, was the Second French Corps, while 
the western base of the wedge was held by the Fifth American Corps,' under 
General Cameron, made up of the 26th and 4th American divisions and a French 
division. In reserve for the three American Corps were the 3rd, 35th, 78th and 
91st divisions, while the 33rd and 80th were available in case of need. 




128 



The artillery concentration for the attack was one of the greatest of the en- 
tire war. Guns were so numerous that they seemed placed behind every par- 
ticle of cover available. They were greatly out of proportion to the amount of 
infantry used. Their number was about 2,000, while their calibers ranged from 
the famous French 7-5's up to three huge American naval guns, which had a range 
of about 20 miles and which bombarded the German lines of communication far 
in the rear of the battle lines. All calibers were supplied lavishly with ammu- 
nition to batter down the strong natural and artificial defenses, which the enemy 
had erected in front of him in the four years of his occupation of this sector. 

Of the 600,000 men assembled for the drive, about 250,000, twice the size of 
any American army ever engaged in one battle, were employed actively in the 
operations. The rest were kept in reserve or used in the service of supply to 
the combat troops. Against them were opposed seven German divisions in the 
line and four in reserve. However, though they were considerably inferior in 
numbers as compared with the attacking forces, a much smaller force was neces- 
sary to defend the salient than to attack it. They were powerfully supplied with 
the most potent weapons of defense, an abundance of all calibers of artillery 
and of light and heavy machine guns. 

The Germans, in spite of the secrecy that was maintained in the preparations 
for the attack, seem to have had some inkling of its coming. Their plans, ac- 
cording to documents captured from prisoners, appear to have vacillated. Some 
of the heavy artillery was withdrawn to the second line of defense, known as 
the Michel position, and all work on fortifications was stopped a few days before 
the blow fell. No extra reserve divisions wei'e brought into the sector for a more 
powerful defense. This was due probably to the fact that they were needed 
worse at other parts of the front to stem the French and English drives which 
were in progress. However, it has been established very clearly that the Ger- 
mans did not evacuate the salient "according to previous plans", as the Gei'man 
war office announced after the battle to soften the bittei'ness of the losses in men, 
guns, and ground. 

The attack started with a tremendous artillery preparation at 1 o'clock on 
the morning of September 12. The chorus of two thousand guns, majestic in 
their roar, lighting up the pitch black darkness of a rainy night with splotches 
like rays of lightning, and fairly shaking heaven and earth with their tremendous 
power, played for four hours upon the towns, shelters, and strong points of the 
enemy in the rear of their front lines and made the night for them a veritable 
inferno. At five o'clock sharp, all firing ceased and an unearthly calm pervaded 
everything for a half hour. Then all burst forth again in a mighty roar as a 
barrage of high explosive shell was laid down upon the front lines of the Ger- 
mans. Our infantry, jumping out of their trenches in the fog and mist of the 
early morning, leaped forward through the tangle of barbed wire to the attack. 
They found the Germans huddled in groups in their dugouts or torn and mangled 
by the hurricane of shell and shrapnel. Some put up a sturdy resistance, others, 
bewildered and nerveless, gave themselves up with little fighting. The American 
troops, inspired by the success they attained in the first few hours of the fight- 
ing, pressed forward vigorously on the flanks of the pocket, while the French, 
with great skill, engaged the enemy at the bottom of the salient and prevented 
his retreat. The advance continued throughout the day and night of September 
12, and early on the morning of September 13, the advance guards of the 1st 
and 26th Divisions met, as had been planned, just north of Vigneulles, where the 
doors of the wedge were to be closed. 

Every objective of the commander-in-chief was attained and, during the course 
of the next two days, the line was straightened from Les Eparges to Pont-a- 
Mousson. The prisoners taken in the engagement numbered about 16,000, while 
the guns counted 443. These figures do not include a large number of machine 
guns and a great mass of materials and stores, which the Germans were forced 
to abandon in their haste to escape.

THE MEUSE-ARGONNE BATTLE 



Of all the battles and engagements in which Knox Countians took pai't during 
the world war, more men and officers of them were engaged perhaps, first and 
last, in the 47-day struggle of the American army against the vital German posi- 
tions in the Argonne Forest northward as far as Sedan than in any other large 
conflict or large operation in France. As has been pointed out in a previous 
chapter, these Knox Countians were not grouped into one combat unit, but were 
scattei-ed througli many organizations. They were to be found in the Fifty-fifth 
Field Artillery Brigade, the Second Corps Artillery Park, the Forty-second Di- 
vision, the Eighty-first and Eighty-second Divisions, the marines, the five regular 
divisions and many of the other army, corps, and divisional units that participated 
in this long campaign. 

The Meuse-Argonne offensive should be regarded as a campaign, a series of 
battles, rather than a single engagement. It was a prolonged struggle of al- 
most seven weeks between two great armies, engaged in a death grapple at the 
most vital part of a battle line more than 400 miles long. No better illustration 
of the extreme importance, with which the German high command regarded the 
Argonne sector, can be found than in the manner in which its armies were dis- 
posed in the crucial months of October and November, 1918. Before the British 
and French troops the German armies were withdrawn as swiftly as possible and 
only rear-guard actions took place. Against the American foixes, however, they 
resisted to the last inch with the best troops they had, knowing that if General 
Pershing reached his objective at Sedan, their whole line of communication on 
the Westei-n Front would be pierced and the divisions against the French and 
English would be in danger of being flanked and cut off. 

The plans for the attack were laid some weeks before it actually began. 
Toward the latter part of July or the first of August, 1918, when the success of 
the allied counter-offensive was assured and the offensive was definitely wrested 
from the German high command. Marshal Foch and General Pershing agreed 
upon the plan of action that the American armies should pursue on the eastern 
end of the battle front. First, the St. Mihiel salient was to be reduced; second, 
the German positions in the Argonne Forest and along the Meuse River were to 
be taken by frontal assault; third, the American and French armies were then 
to outflank and captui'e Metz, seizing the coal and iron fields of Longwy and 
Briey. If these operations were successful, the only tenable position for the 
enemy would be the east bank of the Rhine on German soil. 

The first step was a complete success, although, if certain well authenticated 
rumors are correct, it was made against the wishes of Marshal Foch, who toward 
the latter part of August came to the opinion that this pocket could not be wiped 
out in time for the American divisions to reach the Argonne Forest and make 
adequate preparation within two weeks for such a great attack. The will of 
General Pershing prevailed, however, and his knowledge of the capabilities of 
his divisions was more than justified by events. 

The German defenses from the Meuse to the Argonne were the most formid- 
able on the western front. They were both natural and artificial. The natural 
defenses were a long series of heights and ridges, wooded and covered with 
brush, bushes, and strong points. Upon these the Germans had built successive 
lines of artificial defenses, the Hindenburg Line, the Hagen Stellung, the Volker 
Stellung, the Kriemhilde Stellung, and the Freya Stellung. Concrete machine 
gun and artillery emplacements, several closely woven barbed wire systems, 
mines and booby traps, and an intricate system of interlocking trenches added 




131 




iiiiUU 



— ) 



further strength to these natural fortifications, which guarded the great railroad 
system in their rear, the coal mines of Northern France and Belgium, and the 
iron mines of Lorraine. 

The plan of battle called for the American army to attack from Vienne-le- 
Chateau, on the eastern border of the Argonne Forest, to the west bank of the 
Meuse River. A Fi'ench army was to drive forward at the same time on the west 
side of the Argonne, thus creating two deep salients on both sides of the forest, 
which would cause the evacuation of its matted, tangled woods by the Germans 
therein. Nine infantry divisions— the 77th, 28th, 35th, 91st, 37th, 79th, 4th, 80th, 
and 33rd, arranged in order from left to right — were used by General Pershing to 
make the assault. They were supported by a tremendous concentration of 
American and French artillery of all calibers. The total number of guns em- 
ployed in the preliminary bombardment, which began at 2:30 o'clock on the morn- 
ing of September 26, was about 4,000. They fired more than 300,000 shells that 
day, a volume of shell and shrapnel and fire that no human foi'ce could resist on 
such a front. They withered and blasted all first line defenses in front of them, 
and made the early morning hours a living hell for the Germans, protected 
though they were by almost impregnable defenses. 

In spite of this bombardment, the infantry, who leaped out of their trenches 
and went over the top at 5:30 a. m. behind a smoke and shell ban-age, had great 
difficulties from the German machine gun fire. They were cut and slashed by 
the hostile gunners, hidden behind trenches, logs, up in ti'ees, or behind any kind 
of pi'otective cover. The advance was almost wholly through woods. Yet the 
progress on the first day was very satisfactory, for the German line was pene- 
trated at some places to a depth of six or seven miles. Montfaucon, the highest 
point in the sector, was entered and definitely captured the following day. Most 
of the divisions reached their objectives. The attack was followed up the next 
day, still further progress being made, but not so much as the day before. The 
Germans, who had withdrawn much of their artillery during the bombardment, 
had pulled it back into prepared positions and within twenty-four hours they 
began to mow down the advancing waves of our infantry. 

During the next four or five days the American infantry suff'ered bitterly, as 
the enemy knew their location and used both machine guns and artillery to de- 
stroy them. The gains were piece by piece, a few hundred yards each day. 
Furthermore, they did not have the full support of our artillery behind them, as 
a heavy rain and the lack of roads delayed the bringing forward of both guns 
and ammunition. The losses were very heavy, and it was necessary to relieve 
several of the divisions for rest and replacements. The net result of this first 
phase of the campaign was that the first two lines of the enemy's fortifications 
were broken down, he had been forced to draw heavily upon his best divisions in 
reserve, a considerable wedge had been driven into his lines, and he had lost a 
good deal of his artillery. 

The second phasei of the attack began with a heavy bombardment along all 
parts of the line. In spite of the fact that both light and heavy artillery had 
been brought forward into position, the assault met with strong resistance, as 
the enemy also had fortified his line with more troops and more machine guns and 
artillery. He saw the scope and aim of the drive, and therefore determined to 
stop it if possible. He was dug in behind the Kriemhilde Stellung, a strong line 
of defense along the heights north of Bantheville, Landres and St. Juvin. The 
fighting, under these circumstances, was tooth-and-toenail for the next three 
weeks. The American divisions made their progress almost by yards. Towns 
and villages were captured, then lost, and finally recaptured. Every hill or ridge 
was the scene of bloody fighting. Abundant aviation was brought into play to

zr; 



photograph every vital point and to bomb every concentration of troops. Many 
of the planes swooped down to the ground and sprayed the trenches with enfilad- 
ing machine gun fire. But by the close of October the American advance had 
proceeded north of a straight line from Grand Pre to Brieulles. 

The third and final big drive of the campaign was launched on the morning of 
November 1. Sweeping gains were made that day and they wei'e even more 
pronounced the day following. The divisions in the center drove a big salient 
into the heart of the enemy, capturing Buzancy, the German railhead in this 
region. The flanks also brought up their share of the advance. The enemy, it 
was apparent, had given up all hope of resistance and relied upon strong rear- 
guards to save his main body from capture by getting across the Meuse first. 
Learning that his resistance had been broken down, the American foi'ces were 
driven full speed ahead night and day to intercept the enemy. Trucks were 
brought up to hasten the advance and wide gains were made daily. The left 
flank continued the chase northward, while the center and right were swung 
northeast and east to the Meuse. The first crossing was eff'ected at Brieulles 
on November .3-4, while other divisions followed and pressed the retreat toward 
Montmedy to cut the railroad lines there. Meanwhile, the Forty-second Division, 
which was on the left flank, went forward toward Sedan by leaps and bounds, 
beating the French there by a day. They held back, however, and permitted 
the latter to enter first as a matter of sentiment. The main objective had been 
reached, however, and the German communique of November 8 admitted for the 
first time in the four years of war that "the German line had been pierced." 

When the armistice put a stop to hostilities on November 11, the battle line 
was completely east of the Meuse, the great four-track railroad line through 
Sedan and Mezieres, which was the heart of the enemy's lines of communication, 
had been cut, and the American forces were ready to launch another attack with 
the First Army in the direction of Longwy and with the Second Army, which 
was southeast of Verdun, toward Briey and Conflans. These operations, which 
were sure of success, would have outflanked Metz, the last German stronghold 
in Lorraine, and made necessary the withdrawal of all the enemy forces across 
the Rhine into Germany. 

But our troops were forced to pay a bloody toll for their success in the Ar- 
gonne. Twenty-two divisions were used by General Pershing to accomplish his 
purpose. These divisions were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32nd, 
33rd, 35th, 37th, 42nd, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 81st, 82nd, 89th, 90th, and 9ist. 
With corps, army, special and replacement troops, about 1,200,000 Americans 
were directly or indirectly engaged in this great battle. The French used about 
140,000 troops for their operations west of the Argonne and also north of Ver- 
dun. Against them and our troops were pitted 46 German divisions with a 
strength of approximately 600,000 men. The American casualties were about 
125,000 while the German losses have been estimated at about 100,000. 

Other interesting figures which have been compiled in regard to this great 
campaign of our army are as follows: Maximum penetration of the enemy's 
lines, 32 1-2 miles; villages and towns liberated, 150; daily average of artillery 
ammunition fired, 72,541; total artillery ammunition fired during the campaign, 
3,408,725; prisoners captured, 316 officers, 15,743 men; material captured, 468 
guns, 2864 machine guns, 177 trench mortars.

MAJOR GENERAL E. H. CROWDER 

THE SELECTIVE SERVICE ACT 



The working of the selective service act, or the draft law, as it was more 
popularly known, in Knox County, was ample justification of the wisdom of its 
passage. It provided the majority of the man power, which Knoxville and Knox 
County gave to the war, while this drain was made with the least disturbance to 
the domestic and economic relations of their life. There was much opposition 
and prejudice against the law when it was enforced at the beginning, but its 
essential justice and democracy soon swept away this feeling which impeded its 
operation at first. 

As the demands of the war machine became more imperative and men were 
called to the colors in large numbers in the spring and summer of 1918, it be- 
came apparent to the common sense and reason of all men that the draft system 
was the only feasible manner in which the nation's strength could be marshalled 
in the comparative order of its military and industrial importance. Furthermore, 
it was the only way in which sufficient men could have been mobilized in a short 
time to meet the grave emergency of the hour. 

The volunteer system, which prevailed the first few months of the war, played 
havoc with the domestic and economic life of the nation, taking many who should 
have stayed at home in essential industries or to support dependent families, 
while leaving behind the great majority of man power which could have been 
spared most easily for the army. Voluntary enlistment of men within the draft 
ages was stopped, therefore, the latter part of 1917. Under the amended draft 
law, all men of military age were classified scientifically. Each man was forced 
to await his time and perform his military obligation only when his call, in 
orderly process, came to him. 



134 



m 



All men of draft age were classified into five groups, those physically unfit 
being grouped into the fifth class, while those of the other 'four were arranged 
in the inverse order of their industrial and economic importance. Class 1 was 
the only group during the war from which men of Knox County were taken for 
military service. Those in the other three classes were men whose call to the 
colors was deferred on account of domestic and industrial reasons. They con- 
stituted a reserve which was available if actual military necessity demanded 
their services. 

The first registration in Knox County on June .5, 1917, was made a great holi- 
day affair in which public officials and leading private citzens, men and women 
of all classes, and boys and girls of all ages took part. Parades and patriotic ad- 
dresses were features of the day. Those between the ages of 21 and 30 then 
went to booths and registered their names for military service. At Knox County 
Board No. 1 there were 1697 registrants; at Knox County No. 2, 1098; at Knox- 
ville No. 1, 4152; and at Knoxville No. 2, 3052. The total of the registrants was 
exactly 9,999. At registrations held June 5, 1918, and August 24, 1918, of those 
who had reached the age of 21 since June 5, 1917, there were 1081 young men 
who enrolled themselves for service. At the final registration on September 12, 
1918, of all men between 18 and 45, those who presented themselves and enrolled 
for military duty numbered 12,952. The total registration under the draft law 
in Knoxville and Knox County was 24,032. Of this number, 2708 or a littk more 
than eleven per cent, were called to the colors and accepted at training camps. 
This number included both white and negro men, the latter being largely in the 
minority. Knoxville Board No. 1 sent the largest number into the service, 
1246; Knoxville No. 2 was second with 702; Knox County No. 1 was third with 
511; while Knox County No. 2 contributed 249. 

Governor Rye, in naming the members of the four boards to administer the 
draft law in Knox County, was very fortunate in the selection of the personnel 
of each of them. The members came from all walks of life, and many of them made 
large sacrifices of both time and money to administer their offices faithfully and 
efficiently. They Jiad a big' task to accomplish, with many obstacles and in- 
fluences to overcome, but. they did their work fearlessly. With few exceptions 
they received the hearty support of the entire population. 

The original members of Knoxville Board No. 1, which had jurisdiction over 
the first eleven wards of the city, were: Dr. W. S. Nash, chairman; Wiley L. 
Morgan, secretary; and A. W. Anderson, associate member. Mr. Morgan re- 
signed shoi'tly after his appointment and was succeeded by Rev. J. S. French, 
who served until the spring of 1918, when he entered the Y. M. C. A. work at 
Camp Sevier. J. W. Sullivan was appointed to succeed him and served until the 
board was discharged. Dr. Nash was chairman and medical adviser of the board 
until August 1, 1918, when he resigned to accept an appointment, with rank of 
major, as a national inspector, attached to the office of the Provost Marshal, 
General Crowder. Dr. W. F. Christenbery was appointed member and examin- 
ing physician in his place. Joe P. Lackey, who had served as chief clerk of the 
board, also was appointed a member. In the reorganization, Mr. Sullivan was 
chosen chairman, Mr. Lackey, secretary, and A. W. Anderson and Dr. Christen- 
bery, associate members. 

The membership of Knoxville Board No. 2 was composed of Dr. H. E. Christen- 
bery, chaii'man; Walter E. Mynderse, secretary; and Judge H. B. Lindsay, as- 
sociate member. Dr. William T. DeSautelle was examining physician. Judge 
Lindsay was succeeded by T. E. Plyley in August, 1918. The latter served until 
the board was dismissed.

The two Knox County draft boards remained unchanged throughout the war 
period. Board No. 1 was composed of Col. William M. Epps, chairman; J. T. 
Henderson, secretary; and Dr. E. C. Lay, associate member and examining phy- 
sician. The members of Board No. 2 were M. B. Byington, chairman; Dr. M. H. 
Lee, secretary and examining physician; and Major W. Hardin, associate member. 

In cooperation with each board worked three other governmental agencies, 
which facilitated its work and assisted the registrants in filling out their ques- 
tionnaires, giving them timely information in regard to their service in the army, 
and examining them physically. These agencies were the legal advisory boards, 
the medical advisory boards and the boards of instruction. All of the members 
worked without compensation and most often in conflict with their private affairs. 

Each legal advisory board was composed of three reputable laviryers, who 
called to their assistance others of their profession as associate members when 
there was need of their services. These lawyers interpreted the terms of the 
draft law to the registrants, aided them in filling out the complex questionnaires, 
and assisted them in other matters pertaining to the legal duties required of them. 
Members of these advisory boards were: Knox County No. 1, Charles H. Smith, 
Chairman, L. H. Spillman, John C. Houk, D. M. Bright, Norman B. Morrell; 
Knox County No. 2, -John W. Green, Chairman, W. J. Donaldson, William Baxter 
Lee; Knoxville No. 1, T. Asbury Wright, Chairman, James A. Fowler, John H. 
Frantz, Henry Hudson, secretary; Knoxville No. 2, Charles T. Cates, Jr., Chair- 
man, John M. Thornburgh, D. C. Webb. 

The examination of all registrants was far beyond the strength and ability 
of the one physician, who was member of each draft board. As a result, medical 
advisory boards were appointed for the draft boards throughout the country. 
They not only furnished general medical advice in the examination of regis- 
trants, but the specialist members rendered valuable aid in the detection of ob- 
scure physical defects. The doctors, like the lawyers, did all of this work with- 
out compensation. The members of the four Knox County medical boards were: 

Knox County No. 1, W. S. Austin, Chairman, L. L. Sheddan, Secretary, S. F. 
Casenburg, A. J. Cottrell, J. H. Kincaid, R. B. DePue, E. H. Pierce; KnoxCounty 
No. 2, W. H. L. White, Chairman, C. J. Carmichael, Secretary, A. G. Kern, H. H. 
McCampbell, W. K. Slater, W. W. Potter, Robert Patterson; Knoxville No. 1, 
Charles Huif Davis, Chairman, W. N. Lynn, Secretary, Ben B. Brabson, Walter 
Luttrell, W. R. Cochran; Knoxville No. 2, C. M. Capps, Chairman, A. R. Mc- 
Lendy, Secretary, B. B. Cates, W. A. Catlett. 

In the summer of 1918, the draft boards were instructed to organize a third 
agency in connection with their work. These were the boards of instruction. The 
objects of these advisory boards were to put the drafted men into camp willing, 
loyal, intelligent, and sober, so that they would make more rapid steps in becom- 
ing good soldiers; to explain to them some of the reasons why this nation was 
at war and the issues that were involved; and to give them a thorough idea of 
how to avail themselves of the welfare agencies, as the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., 
war risk insurance bureaus, and allotment departments, so that they might keep 
in touch with their families. The instruction board of Knoxville Draft Board 
No. 1 was very active, as its members met three times each week and made ad- 
dresses before all the outgoing men to camps. 

Members cf these boards of instruction were: Knoxville No. 1, Judge Hugh 
M. Tate, Chairman; David C. Chapman, military tactics; John R. Neal, military 
law; E. W. Fox, Y. M. C. A. secretary; Miss Josephine Reddish, Red Cross. 
Knoxville No. 2, James A. Fowler, Chairman, military law; A. D. Albright, phy- 
sical instructor; David C. Chapman, military tactics; E. W. Fox, Y. M. C. A.

secretary; Miss Josephine Reddish, Red Cross. Knox County No. 1, Thomas J. 
Cline, Chairman, W. F. Miller, William Washburn. Knox County No. 2, L. M. G. 
Baker, Chairman, Robert Young, Roy Johnson. 

The registrants were called before the draft boards in groups of from 20 to 
50 each day. The first group appeared for examination on August 3, 1917. A 
surprising feature that the examinations brought forth was the number of men 
disqualified for military service on physical grounds. A great many wei'e fit 
only for limited service in the army. In the early stages of the operation of the 
law, the physicial defectives often ran as high as fifty per cent of the men ex- 
amined. The exemption claims of those who were physically qualified were even 
higher. Most of them were based upon the ground of domestic dependency. A 
much smaller percentage asked to be excused from military service because of 
business affairs. The claims of those who asked exemption for either of these 
reasons were examined thoroughly by the local boards, and all of the facts in 
regard to each case were weighed carefully in making the final classification of 
the registrant. 

If the registrant objected to the class in which he was placed, he had the 
right of appeal to the district board of five members, which considered appeals 
from East Tennessee counties. Under cei'tain conditions, appeal could be taken 
from this board to higher authority. Government appeal agents from the four 
boards were: Knoxville No. 1, Forrest W. Andrews, J. H. Anderson; Knoxville 
No. 2, Edward F. Walsh, J. Harry Price; Knox County No. 1, Thomas L. Carty; 
Knox County No. 2, Judge H. N. Cate. 

The first contingent of five per cent was called to report on September 5, 1917. 
It consisted of 16 men. Those who had the distinction of going to camp first 
were Frank Lockett from Knoxville Board No. 1 ; Titus Caruthers Schriver from 
Knoxville Board No. 2; Lee Monday from County Board No. 1; and Floyd N. 
Davis from County Board No. 2. The other twelve men followed within a few 
days. 

Upon the departure of all men, both then and in the succeeding months, one 
member of the boards always accompanied them to the training camp. This was 
for the purpose of seeing that they arrived safely at their destination, were en- 
rolled properly at the camps, and received a proper start in their new work. The 
majority of the men went to Camp Gordon at Atlanta, though quite a number 
were sent from time to time to Camp Buell in Kentucky, Camp Shelby in Missis- 
sippi, and Camp Jackson in South Carolina. Scattering detachments were called 
to other national army camps for special work. 

Parades through the streets and receptions at the public buildings and at the 
railroad stations were held to give all men a joyful departure. The women at 
the Red Cross Canteen filled their pockets and bags with cigarettes, tobacco and 
good things to eat. Nothing was left undone to minister to their needs and com- 
forts. Whether from the city or county, all were made to feel the deep, active 
interest of everyone in them and the righteousness of the cause in which they 
were going forth to fight. 

The calls of the draft during the fall and winter of 1917 and the first few 
months of 1918 were rather light, because all the camps in the country were 
filled with national guard and regular army troops. There was no place in 
which they could be trained. In the late spring and summer of 1918, however, 
when these early divisions went overseas, and when the size of the army that 
was necessary and the desperation of the cause in which the allied forces were 
engaged became apparent through casualty lists and the demands of the army 
leaders for more men, the draft machinery at Washington doubled and redoubled 



Sffi

the quotas and called incessantly for more men. These men, who were needed 
for the summer and fall campaigns of our armies, tarried only briefly in the 
cantonments in this country. They were outfitted and shipped out as fast as 
transports could be provided to carry them. In less than ninety days after they 
entered the service, many of these men were in the battle line. They went up as 
replacements in the divisions which had been thinned by heavy casualties in the 
Marne salient and the early fighting in the Argonne. 

Of the fighting qualities of the draft men, the orders of General Pershing 
speak eloquently. The national army divisions were mentioned frequently. They 
were in the thick of the fighting in the Argonne Forest, the most prolonged and 
bitter campaign in which the American army ever took part. They were en- 
gaged in the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, along the Marne and Aisne, in 
the Champagne sector, and on the other parts of the line held by American 
troops. They were scattered throughout the whole army. 

While there may have been separate classifications and distinctions in Amer- 
ica, in France the terms national guard, national army and regular army wei'e 
but empty shells. Transfers, replacements, and shifts made these terms empty 
names. The former three grand divisions of the American army became hope- 
lessly intermingled under the stress of war and needs of battle. The original 
regular and national guard divisions, which saw the earliest fighting, became 
thinned and depleted by the middle of the summer of 1918. To keep them in the 
line it was necessary to fill them to war strength after each battle with replace- 
ments of men who had recently come from America. As voluntary enlistment 
had been stopped after December 15, 1917, it was necessary to make these re- 
placements with men who were drafted. After a few days with those who had had 
the benefit of battle experience, these men became real veterans, able to undergo 
any test and take part in any battle. The three groups of our fighting forces, be- 
tween which there were sharp lines of distinction at home, became under a 
common peril one huge army, sharing the same dangers, undergoing the same 
hardships, and fighting for the same cause under the same flag.

FOURTH TENNESSEE INFANTRY 



While this regiment was not called into federal service and, therefore, had no 
chance to participate in the activities at the front, it did its part in the winning 
of the war by the thorough instruction given its members, many of whom were 
drafted or enlisted later in other units and saw active service in this country, as 
well as overseas. Nearly every man who went into active service was quickly 
made a noncommissioned officer on account of the training he had received in the 
regiment. 

Early in the fall of 1917, when the success of the allied cause looked anything 
but encouraging. Acting Secretary of War Ingram issued an order, authorizing 
the organization of national guard units in Tennessee with the distinct under- 
standing that, if the e.xigencies existed which seemed to make the course advis- 
able, these units were to be subject to the call or draft of the President for for- 
eign service. Gov. Rye immediately called a conference of military men at 
Nashville and the decision was reached to organize one regiment of infantry. 
David C. Chapman, J. Wylie Brownlee, Frank L. West, W. Q. Johnston, N. E. 
Logan and H. F. Knox were appointed provisional officers for the Knoxville units. 
Messrs. Chapman and Brownlee at once visited 27 different towns in East Ten- 
nessee, addressing meetings in behalf of the proposed regiment. This recruiting- 
work resulted, in less than 30 days, in the enlistment of 1,.589 acceptable men. In 
the succeeding months, as men would drop out of the regiment on account of the 
draft or for other reasons, their places were filled, so that altogether 4,017 men 
were recruited and sworn into the regiment for service during the duration of 
the war. 

The full c)uota for one regiment having been raised in East Tennessee, the 
regiment was designated the Fifth Tennessee Infantry, and Lieutenant-Colonel 
Chapman, who had been in command, was commissioned a full colonel of the or- 
ganization on February 5, 1918. Mr. Brownlee was commissioned captain and 
appointed mustering oflicer. Accompanied by Col. Chapman, he visited the var- 
ious towns in East Tennessee where companies had been organized and mustered 
these units into service during December, 1917. 

The officers of the regiment and the towns in which companies were organized 
were as follows: 

Colonel D. C. Chapman, Knoxville; Lieut.-Col. Milton B. Ochs, Chattanooga; 
Headciuarters Company, Captain .1. Wylie Brownlee, Knoxville; Supply Company, 
Knoxville, Captain William Q. Johnston; Machine Gun Company, Knoxville,

Tucker, 2nd Lieut. Luther C. Hurd ; Company C, Greeneville, Captain William 
C. Hardin, 1st Lieut. Don H. McDaniel, 2nd Lieut. Robert W. Daughty, 2nd Lieut. 
James A. Holley; Company D, LaFollette, Captain Lee J. Sergeant, 1st Lieut. 
William H. Noel, 2nd Lieut. G. B. Gallaher. 

Second Battalion — Major C. H. Gillingham, Maryville; 1st Lieut Earl Rod- 
gers, Knoxville; Company E, Knoxville, Captain Earnest Logan, 2nd Lieut. Ar- 
thur J. Cockrell; Company F, Petros, Captain Arthur W. Evans, Captain Walton

Jr., 2nd Lieut. Samuel F. Carroll.

Third Battalion— Major H. M. Candler, Athens; 1st Lieut. H. F. Knox; Com- 
pany I, Captain Bartlett Hagemeyer, 1st Lieut. Allen Davis, 2nd Lieut. Roy 
L. Gooch; Company K, Rockwood, Captain Leland Cook, 1st Lieut. James R. Ted- 
der, 2nd Lieut. Harry C, Howard; Company L, Athens, Captain Charles F. 
Keith. 1st Lieut. Russell Huff, 2nd Lieut. C. C. Mahery; Company M, Cleveland, 
Captain Q. M. Smith, 1st Lieut. W. H. Rodgers, 2nd Lieut. C. A. Mee. 

Sanitary Detachment, Major B. D. Bosworth, Knoxville; Major H. M. Cass, 
Johnson City. Chaplain, 1st Lieut. H. V. Carson, Knoxville. 

During January, 1918, Colonel Chapman was busy securing armories in the 
various towns of East Tennessee for the local companies, the Knoxville companies 
being installed in the Briscoe building on State Street. Bi-weekly drills and 
military instruction were started with a rush. Col. Chapman and his staff making 
frequent inspection of the companies as the work progressed. Schools for com- 
missioned and noncommissioned officers were held weekly under good instructors, 
and rapid progress was made in the work. Col. E. V. Smith, of the regular army, 
inspected the regiment during January, 1918, and declared that every requirement 
for federal recognition had been met. This recognition was finally extended on 
May 6 and full equipment was ordered from the quartermaster depots. On ac- 
count of the enormous demands of the war, however, this equipment was not re- 
ceived until July, 1918. 

During this period the draft age was from 21 to 31, so that all members of 
the national guard above or below these ages had voluntarily made themselves 
subject to call because of their enlistment. Many members of draft age 
were called into service by the county boards, thus depleting the ranks of both 
regiments in the state. From these two sources the regiment lost heavily both 
in officers and men. Among the officers who resigned to get into active service 
in training camps were Major West, Captain Brownlee, Captain Peckinbaugh, 
Lieuts. Kern, Bailey and Boyd, Captain Vandergrift', Lieut. Tucker, Lieut. Maxey, 
Lieut. Bussell, Captain Cook, Lieut. Tedder, Lieut. Howard and Captain Smith. 

Owing to losses by the draft and the training camps, it was thought advisable 
in June, 1918, to consolidate the Fourth and Fifth Infantry Regiments into one. 
This was done and Colonel Chapman was placed in command of the consolidated 
regiment, which was designated the Fourth Tennessee Infantry. New officers 
were appointed from the other regiment to fill the vacancies, but the location of 
the companies remained the same, some consolidations being made to increase the 
strength of the units. 

Every effort was made by the officers and the enlisted men of the regiment to 
get into federal service and see field duty. With this end in view, frequent trips 
were made to Washington by Col. Chapman, accompanied by Gov. Rye, Adjutant 
General Buckner, and officers of the regiment. Senators Shields and McKeller 
gave their assistance also in trying to get the War Department to call out the 
regiment. 

In the fall of 1918 the regiment was ordered to go into encampment at Camp 
John Sevier near Fountain City. The rifle range was put in a good state of re- 
pair, the camp buildings and grounds prepared, and all arrangements made for 
the encampment October 7-22, 1918. The serious epidemic of influenza, which 
reached its height about that time, made it necessary to call off the encampment. 
After the signing of the armistice. Colonel Chapman resigned his command on 
November 23, 1918, and serious attempts to continue the military training with 
the companies were abandoned.

OTHERS IN THE SERVICE 

In addition to those in the service, whose photographs and records are shown in the 
preceding pages, there were more than 2,000 other men from Knox County in the var- 
ious branches of military, naval and air activity whose photographs and records it was 
impossible to obtain, though every effort was made to do so. 

The names of these men are given below. There are some inaccuracies in spelling, 
as the names were taken from rosters, records, newspapers, and files. These errors 
have been eliminated as far as possible through consulting the Knoxville city directory, 
but a large number of the names did not appear in it. Many of the men lived in the 
rural districts of the county. 

The consolidation of this list with the preceding one shows that approximately 5,000 
of the men and boys of Knox County were in federal service between the declaration of 
war April 6, 1917, and the conclusion of the armistice November 11, 1918. In addition, 
there were many hundreds of men and women who did war work, but who did not take 
the federal oath or put on a uniform.

THE RED CROSS 

No civilian activity of the great world war aroused so entirely the popular 
intei-est and made a so direct, human appeal to the great mass of people in Knox- 
ville and Knox County — irrespective of creed, color, or station in life — as the 
Red Cross. Its international emblem, the symbol of mercy, justice and humanity, 
evoked an overwhelming response whenever a call was made in its behalf. PeoiJle 
literally asked to contribute to its cause with their money or to give their time 
and labor for its sake. Its motives were so high and so pure that no one ever 
questioned what became of the wealth that was poured out to relieve the suffer- 
ings of a war-torn and grief-stricken world. 

Never an appeal of any kind for assistance was made that it was not more 
than answered. If workers were needed, there were moj-e than there was physi- 
cal room in w'hich they could labor comfortably. If contributions of money for 
the support of the national and local chapter were necessary, they were far be- 
yond what was asked. In the first campaign, Knox County was asked to raise 
$7.3,000 as its quota. The contributions were $95,000. In the second campaign, 
in which an equal amount was asked, the subscriptions were $80,000 within three 
hours after the campaign had started. They reached approximately $12.5,000 
before the avalanche of gifts stopped. 

But great as were the donations of money to the Red Cross by Knox County — 
more than $200,000 was collected in the two campaigns — the hundreds of thous- 
ands of hours of unselfish, loving work were infinitely greater. Of the more than 
16,000 members in the county, over 6,000 were engaged actively in Red Cross 
work. Ninety-six women and men were awarded badges for doing 800 hours of 
work, twenty-six women received them for 1,600 hours of labor, while eleven 
women gave 2,400 hours each of their time and strength in the interest of the 
work. These figures do not take into account the thousands of women and girls 
who did less than these amounts, either in the privacy of their homes during 
leisure moments or in the regularly organized work rooms of the Red Cross 
chapter.

An insight into the magnitude of the work accomplished by the Knoxville 
chapter, its branch chapter in St. John's Episcopal Church, and its three score 
auxiliaries, is given in the final repoi't to the southern division headquarters of 
the national organization. From the incorporation of the chapter on February 7, 
1917, until April 30, 1919, the sum of $88,541.82 was collected for local use, 
while .$77,748.0.5 of this amount was disbursed for materials and other necessary 
expenses. In the surgical dressing department, 607,368 articles were made at a 
cost of $8,282.20. The garment department turned out 30,238 articles at an ap- 
proximate cost of $17,500. The knitting department made 25,703 articles at a 
cost of $12,572.98. The St. .John's branch made 54,654 compresses, 16,876 pleated 
bandages, 1,000 hospital garments, and knitted 447 pairs of socks and 155 
sweaters. The civilian relief department gave assistance to 3,128 families by 
means of loans, visits, medical attention, legal advice, and correspondence in re- 
gard to allotments, allowances, and insurance. The loans amounted to $4,579.71, 
of which $2,396.07 was repaid by those to whom they had been made. 

Mrs. N. E. Logan was the first director general of woman's work in the Red 
Cross chapter. She served until May 1, 1918, when she went to France in the 
canteen service. She was succeeded by Mrs. J. Stewart French, who served until 
the active work closed. There were eight departments into which this work 
was divided — surgical dressings, garments, knitting, military relief, civilian re- 
lief, education, canteen, and junior departments. 

The surgical dressing department started in bumble quarters in the rear of 
the Board of Commerce. Mrs. Charles Huff Davis was supervisor, with Mrs. 
Benjamin D. Bosworth as assistant. A second move was necessary in the interest 
of more room, while a third one was made into the "war quarters" in Market 
Hall, where there were accommodations for 300 women to work at one time. The 
making of dressings was carried on both day and night. 

Mrs. A. J. Albers was the first superintendent of the garment department, 
but she was succeeded by Mrs. W. A. McBath, who gave almost a year of her 
time to the work. This was one of the most interesting of the departments, for 
the garments were cut from the raw cloth by an electric cutter, operated solely 
by women, sewed, inspected and packed, ready for shipment to foreign hospitals. 
They turned out the finished product, ready for a patient to put on. 

The knitting department had an humble origin, starting in a small room in 
the Lyceum building. From that it grew to large proportions under the super- 
vision of Mrs. Walter McCoy. Nearly all of the work was done in individual 
homes, hundreds of women taking home skeins of yarn and knitting gloves, 
sweaters and socks in odd moments when thei'e were no other duties. The total 
of their labors was more than 25,000 finished articles. 

The civilian relief department met a great need in attendance to the wants 
and welfai'e of those who had relatives in some branch of federal service. More 
than 3,000 families, many of them needy, were assisted regularly from June 1, 
1917, to May 1, 1919. Service rendered to these families included financial re- 
lief, visits to homes for various purposes, medical attention, legal advice, and 
correspondence regarding allotments, allowances, and insurance. The record 
committee instructed 800 drafted men in filling out allotment and allowance 
blanks. Loans of about $4,500 were made to needy families, of which $2,400 
afterward was collected. Mrs. Albei't G. Hope was chairman of this department 
until January, 1918, when she was succeeded by Mrs. J. Walter Wright. 



The military relief committee, with Richard K. Gibson as chairman, gave its 
assistance to those in the sei'vice who were in need of help. Before the local 
guardsmen went to Camp Sevier, they were supplied with necessary clothing and 
medical supplies. After they arrived in camp, the committee continued its super- 
vision of them by impoi'tuning the government for heavier and warmer clothing 
during the severe winter. Working in connection with the canteen, a relief 
booth was installed at the Southern depot where soldiers' packages were looked 
after, tickets exchanged, the sick and needy helped, and meals and lodging fur- 
nished. Loans were made to many soldiers who were temporarily short of funds.

During the influenza epidemic, medicine, supplies and clothing were furnished to 
the troops encamped at the University of Tennessee and at Chilhowee Park. 
Soldiers in hospitals were visited and relatives informed of their health. 

In response to the need for trained workers, more than a score of members 
of the Red Cross Chapter volunteered for canteen, nursing or executive work. 
On the opposite page are shown the photographs of eleven of them. They are: 
(l)-Fred. A. Ault, Deputy Comptroller of the National Red Cross at Washing- 
ton from May, 1918, to .July, 1919, who had, in that capacity, final review and ap- 
proval of all Red Cross expenditures; (2)-E. W. Ogden, former president and 
one of the organizers of the Knoxville Chapter, who went to France in 1917 and 
served for a year in Red Cross work; (3) -Mrs. E. W. Odgen, who also saw a year 
of foreign service in the direction of Red Cross work in France; (4) -Miss .Julia 
E. Hoyne, Red Cross nurse who went overseas in November, 1918; (5) -Miss Anna 
Magee Sanford, who did canteen work in France from July, 1918, to April, 1919; 
(6) -Miss Margaret McKinney, who was also overseas in canteen work for the Red 
Cross from November, 1918, to August, 1919; (7) -Miss Ella Williams, a canteen 
worker, who served in France from .January, 1918, to March, 1919, in French and 
American canteens; (8) -Miss Anne Gettys, also a canteen worker in France for six 
months; (9) -Mrs. N. IS. Logan , director of woman's work in the Knoxville Red 
Cross Chapter until her depai-ture in -July, 1918, for Europe, where she managed 
canteens at Bordeaux, France, and Treves, Germany; (10) -Miss Stella Wade, Red 
Cross nurse at Camp .Jackson from August to December, 1918; (11) -Miss Mary 
Rachel Shackelford, who did Red Cross nursing at Camp McClellan and Camp 
Wadsworth during the war. 

The .Junior Red Cross, organized early in 1918, grew into large proportions 
and did splendid work. Thirty-one auxiliaries were organized with a total mem- 
bership of about 12,000. These were principally in the city and county schools. 
More than $3,000 was raised and disbursed by the children in their work. Sixty 
French war orphans were adopted and provided for during a period of two years. 
In the manual training departments of the schools, the boys and girls made 
packing boxes for surgical dressings, applicator sticks for use in surgical packets, 
and other useful articles. The girls knitted sweaters, wristlets, and quilt squares. 
A total of 106,027 articles was turned out by members of the Junior Red Cross. 

No branch of the Red Cross Chapter was more popular or filled a more direct 
need than the canteen at the railroad station, organized early in 1918 by Mrs. 
A. F. Sanford, and conducted later under the direction of Mrs. E. E. Norris and 
Mrs. E. C. Gothard. Between 300,000 and 400,000 troops, which passed through 
Knoxville enroute to camps or returning home to hospitals from the battle field, 
were served by the canteen. Regular shifts of workers stayed on duty seven days 
in the week from six o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock at night. No 
matter what kind of weather or what the hour, every train was met and refresh- 
ment oifered to all men in uniform. During the months the canteen was in 
operation, the sum of $11,927.91 was expended in buying supplies and equipment. 
An appropriation of $2, .500 was made by the Red Cross chapter, but the rest was 
contributed by patriotic citizens. 

However, the donations of money were a tiny mite compared to the value of 
gifts of food made by housewives of the city and county and by the wholesale 
fruit houses. Jellies, preserves, sandwiches, pastries, fruits, and all kinds of 
delicacies wei'e contributed in season and out of season by those who wished to 
do "their bit" in this way. No man in uniform was ever allowed to pass through 
the railroad station without a uniformed worker offering him cigarettes, coffee, 
pies, or any other delicacy that was in stock at the time. It made no matter 
whether he was a Tennesseaii or a native of another state. The uniform was 
the "open sesame" for a shower of attention by the canteen workers. 

This personal attention, this kindness and untiring attention, this cordiality 
shown to all alike made the canteen a mighty instrument in maintaining a high 
morale among the troops, as well as ministering to their material needs. Often 
a home-sick and discouraged soldier, far away from home and loved ones, poured 
out his wees into the sympathetic ear of some canteen worker, who gave him en- 
couragement and sent him smiling on his way.

In addition to these kindly services, first aid was rendered to 370 soldiers, 87 
were taken from trains to hospitals, guides were furnished for detachments 
which had a few hours between trains and which wished to take walks over the 
city, telegrams were sent to relatives, more than 1,000 conducted to the Y. M. C. 
A. for baths and swims, while hundreds of thousands of post cards were given 
to men on which to write home. 

Ossoli Circle, shortly after war was declared, took up the making of hospital 
garments among its membership. This work was thoroughly organized, perfected 
and continued until the last days of 1917, when it was merged with the central 
garment makers' department of the Red Cross. The circle thereafter devoted its 
time to other war work. Its most notable achievement, however, was the for- 
mation of 35 auxiliaries among the churches of the city and county, and among 
the county seats of the surrounding counties. 

The only auxiliary of the Knoxville chapter that grew to the proportion of 
being raised to a branch in rank was the one organized in August, 1917, among 
the membership of St. .lohn's Episcopal Church. The auxiliary started and kept 
through to its end the same board of officers. They were Dr. Walter C. Whit- 
aker, president; R. K. Gibson, chairman of finance; Fritz Staub, chairman of 
relief work; D. M. Chambliss, chairman of supplies; George F. Harrison, secre- 
tary and treasurer. From August until November, 1917, the sewing rooms in 
the Lyceum building were used, but thei-eafter the auditorium of the parish house 
was converted into a work room in which bandages and surgical di'essings were 
made. On April 1, 1918, in recognition of its fine work, the St. .lohn's auxiliary 
became the St. .lohn's branch of the Knoxville chapter. It was entirely self- 
supporting and did all kinds of Red Cross work. During the twelve months of 
active operation, the following articles were turned out by the women of this 
branch: .54,6.54 compresses, 16,876 plaited bandages, 1,000 hospital garments, 587 
pads and belts, 60 sweaters, 38 sponges, 12 bathrobes, 447 pairs of socks, and 155 
sweaters. This made a total of approximately 75,000 articles. Many of the offi- 
cers and instructors in the parent chapter came from St. .lohn's Church. 

In conclusion, it should be noticed that the Knoxville chapter of the Red Cross 
was in the field and working before war was declared on April 6, 1917. Due to 
the efforts principally of Mrs. N. E. Logan, an organization had been perfected 
two months earlier, on Febi-uary 6, and therefore work was well under way when 
the formal declaration came. The first officers were E. W. Ogden, president; 
Powell Smith, vice-president; N. E. Logan, treasurer; and Mrs. C. M. McClung, 
secretary. The directorate was composed of Geoi-ge Blow, Fred Bonham, N. E. 
Logan, Powell Smith, A. H. Steere, W. A. Schoenfield, Ben Morton, Curtis B. 
.lohnson, E. W. Ogden, Mrs. Lena Warner, and Mrs. Lucy Templeton. 

In the two years of exceedingly busy work which followed, there were many 
changes of officers and directors. Mr. Ogden resigned the presidency on October 
1, 1917, to go to France in the Red Cross work. He was succeeded by Fred Ault, 
who served until March 19, 1918, when .John M. Thornburgh became the active 
head of the chapter. After serving a year as treasurer, Mr. Logan was succeed- 
ed by Fred Ault, who, in turn, was succeeded by William Lyons. Mrs. McClung 
retired in 1919 after giving two years of her time as secretary of the chapter. 
Mrs. E. W. Ogden, who had returned from France as a Red Cross worker, was 
chosen in her place. 

The directorate during the two years of active work was composed at one 
time or another of the following: Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Logan, Fred Bonham, 
Mrs. Lena Warner, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Ogden, A. H. Steere, Mrs. L. D. Tyson, 
D. A. Rosenthal, E. D. Albers, R. K. Gibson, John M. Thornburgh, William 
Lyons, Mrs. W. McBath, Mrs. .J. Stewart French, Mrs. Walter McCoy, Mrs. B. D. 
Bosworth, A. P. Frierson, Wiley L. Morgan, Mrs. Henry Kelso, Mrs." Clvde Goth- 
ard, Dan Chambliss, F. .J. Callan, Mrs. C. M. McClung, Mrs. Albert Hope, Mrs. 
C. H. Davis, Fred Ault, G. H. Clark, Mrs. Walter Wright, and Mrs. Kenneth 
Gilpin.

LIBERTY LOANS 

In the five national Liberty Loan campaigns to finance the war, Knox County 
not only went "over the top", but in each of them its citizens bought more bonds 
than the government asked of them. The total subscriptions in five loans were 
approximately $13,500,000, though the county's quota was only slightly in ex- 
cess of $10,000,000. Add to these subscriptions more than $2",000,000 invested 
in war savings stamps and the loans from Knox Countians to the federal govern- 
ment for the prosecution of the war reached the huge sum of more than 
$15,000,000. 

The sale of so many government securities was made possible by the splendid 
selling organization built up and perfected in each succeeding campaign by Hon. T. 
Asbury Wright, who was chairman for Knox County in each of the five loans. He 
was the only county chairman in the Sixth Federal Reserve District who served 
consecutively through all of these campaigns. He virtually gave up his private bus- 
iness during them to further the sale of the bonds. Thanks to his constructive, 
organizing ability, backed by liberal space contributed by patriotic individuals, 
firms and by the newspapers themselves, the vital necessity of participating in 
the loans was carried to every home in the city and county. 

Mr. Wright was assisted by an executive committee composed of the presidents 
of the Knoxville banks— William S. Shields, Frank L. Fisher, S. B. Luttrell, Jos- 
eph P. Gaut, E. E. McMillan, J. Allen Smith, Hu M. Johnston, W. H. Sterchi, 
Charlton Karns, J. J. Ashe, and, during the Fourth and Fifth Loans, Robert S. 
Young, president of the American National Bank. Samuel V. Carter, who 
was zone chairman for 20 of the upper East Tennessee counties, gave his assistance 
and support in each of the campaigns. These men, together with other officials 
of their banks, did yeoman service. 

In the Fourth and Fifth Loans, which were considerably the largest, Mr. 
Wright organized a ward and district system for the purpose of getting in con- 
tact with every citizen in the city and county.* Knoxville was divided into four

divisions, while the county constituted a fifth. Matt G. Thomas was placed in 
command of the First Division; G. L. Price of the Second; J. L. Deaver ot the

In the Fourth and Fifth Loans especially the commercial travelers of Knox- 
ville did splendid service. Their two organizations, the T. P. A. and the U. T. C, 
under the leadership of E. W. Neal, Frank May, J. B. Criswell and W. D. Hogan, 
worked effectively and harmoniously with the Liberty Loan organization built up 
by Mr. Wright. As experienced salesmen they reached large numbers of men and 
women and sold thousands of dollars worth of the bonds. 

As a further means of reaching every home and approaching every man and 
woman in Knox County, Mr. Wright brought two other strong agencies to bear 
in the latter campaigns. These organizations were the Four Minute Men and the 
Boy and Girl Scouts. The Four Minute Men campaigned the theatres, moving 
picture houses and other places of assembly in the city while in the county they 
stumped every village and cross roads. The Boy and Girl Scouts, under the able 
leadership of John M. Gore, Scout Executive, proved effective salesmen in all the 
campaigns in which they took part. 

The first loan campaign was ushered in the latter part of May, 1917. There 
was little formal organization for the sale of bonds. The subscriptions were large- 
ly from the wealthy citizens and the banks. They were received through the banks 
up until the final days of the campaign when eighteen teams of Boy Scouts took 
the field and sold $153,000 of the bonds by the end of the drive on June 15. No 
quota was fixed definitely, but the total voluntary subscriptions amounted to 
$1, 246,555. 

The second loan campaign four months later, beginning October 1 and con- 
tinuing until October 27, saw the creation of the first real bond sales organiza- 
tion. In addition to Mr. Wright as chairman, Jos. P. Gaut was elected vice-chair- 
man, and Mrs. Joseph H. Anderson was made head of the woman's committee. J. 
Pike Powers, Jr., was named director of the Four Minute Men and John M. Gore 
organized the Boy Scouts for a more intensive campaign. The quota assigned to 
Knox County was $1,200,000. The sales amounted to $1,838,400, almost fifty per 
cent more than the quota assigned.

The third loan was equally as great a success. Practically the same organ- 
ization, which had been built up in the previous campaigns, was used to float this 
one, which began April 6, 1918, and closed on May 4. Mr. Wright continued his 
work as director-general of the whole campaign, but Mrs. John W. Hudson suc- 
ceeded Mrs. Anderson as general chairman of the woman's department. Mrs. 
W. C. Ross was named to push the sale of bonds among the women of the county 
districts. The "Minute Women" also entered the campaign, making one minute 
speeches daily on Gay Street and at all public meetings. Mrs. E. T. Sanford, assis- 
ted by Mrs. Herbert Hall, was in charge of this phase of the work, while Harry 
R. Ryder succeeded .J. Pike Powers, .Jr., as director of the Four Minute Men 
campaign. Ten teams of men and the same number of women canvassed the city 
and county in selling bonds. The women alone reported sales of about $900,000. 
The total subscriptions were $2,417,100. The quota was only $2,000,000. The 
most encouraging feature of this campaign was the number of people who partici- 
pated in it. Final figures showed that 12,880 bought bonds. 

The fourth loan in the fall of 1918, when our armies were making deep 
gains daily and a wave of victorious exaltation was sweeping the whole country, 
outdistanced all the others in the enthusiasm it provoked and the ease with 
which nearly as many bonds were sold as in the three previous campaigns combin- 
ed. Page after page of advertising, splendid war posters, furnished by the nation- 
al loan organization, letters, personal appeals, exhortations from every platform in 
Knox County by the very best speakers, all these agencies, with the psychology 
of the moment of approaching victory, made this loan ti-emendously popular. 

The central sales organization again was headed by Mr. Wright, while Mrs. 
Samuel G. Shields made an effective chairman of the Knox County woman's com- 
mittee. The subcommittees were the same as in the preceding loan. Ministers 
gave their support from the pulpit, all kinds of street advertising were employed, 
a street fair, in which loan booths were established, was responsible for the sale 
of several hundred thousand dollars' worth of bonds, and scores of speakers tour- 
ed the mills and factories, the stores and the rural districts for the loan. Boy 
and Girl Scouts canvassed both homes and streets. The schools organized bond 
clubs. The commercial travelers gave of their time unsparingly. In the closing 
days, a "dynamite" committee, composed of influential citizens, made large sales 
that could not otherwise have been made. 

The flood of subscriptions on the last day of the campaign fairly swamped 
the banks, which received them. The quota of $3,685,000, which had seemed im- 
possible to reach when the campaign started, was far surpassed. When all the sub- 
scriptions had been counted, it was found that the sales amounted to $4,8.58,950. 
The number of subscribers was 23,985. Practically one out of every four rnen, 
women and children in the city and county had bought a bond of some denomina- 
tion. 

Sales of the notes of the Fifth, or Victory Loan, as it was called, was much 
harder than in the preceding campaigns, when war was still being waged. The 
heat of a great victory had cooled, thousands of soldiers were returning, and, fur- 
thermore, a great many of those who had made actual personal sacrifice to buy in 
the earlier campaigns, did not feel equal to the burden which the final one would 
entail. There was a wide-spread feeling also that the money interests of the coun- 
try, which did not subscribe early in the campaign, would more than take the loan 
in the final hours of the drive because of the high rate of interest and the ex- 
emption from taxation, which this loan afforded. 

The quota set for Knox County was $2,832,450. When the subscriptions reach- 
ed about $1,500,000, the sales fell off and popular interest and participation lag- 
ged. The "dynamite" committee, composed of teams of two men each who had 
access to the sources of wealth in the city and county, again was called into 
action and, with five hours of vigorous canvassing among the larger interests, the 
quota was almost reached. The banks underwrote the rest, while late popular 
subscriptions carried the total to approximately $3,100,000. 

The organization was somewhat different in this campaign. Mr. Wright again 
gave his time and services as chairman of the central committee, but Mrs. James 
H. Anderson, who had directed the woman's share of the work in the second loan, 
succeeded Mrs. Shields, who had gone out of the city, as chairman of the Knox 
County woman's committee. Henry Hudson and Mrs. W. P. Davis were directors 
of the men's and women's five minute speakers, while John R. Williams and Mrs. 
Walter Luttrell were in charge of the publicity for the loan.

WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS 

During the greater part of the war period, the welfare organizations of Knox- 
ville and Knox County worked separately. Their work was not coordinated, 
while campaigns to maintain them and to meet their financial needs were a con- 
stant recurrence. With the Liberty Loan drives, there was a perfect cycle of 
these campaigns for war funds. To avoid this constant drain upon business 
men and to coordinate the efforts of all these organizations both in the training 
camps in the United States and in the divisions abroad, the United War Work 
Committee was formed under the supervision of the War Department. The seven 
welfare organizations that were members of it were the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. 
C. A., the American Library Association, the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish 
Welfare Board, the Salvation Army and the War Camp Community Service. 

The week of November 11-18, 1918, was set apart by President Wilson to 
solicit funds for this vital work in connection with our army and navy. Knox 
County was given a quota of $125,000. The sum of $127,666 was raised in the 
allotted time. The organization, which directed this great campaign in Knox 
County, was as follows: E. D. Langley, director for East Tennessee; E. L. Mc- 
Clurkan, director for Knox County; Robert S. Young, county- chairman; Mrs. 
C. S. Sims, chairman for i-ural communities. The executive committee was com- 
posed of the following: Larkin S. Brown, John M. Gore, J. K. Middleton, Mrs. 
Percy Lockett, George Helm, Allen Frierson, Malcolm McDermott, and Powell 
Smith, who was treasurer of the funds raised. 

THE Y. M. C. A. 

When the world was plunged into the gi-eatest war it had ever known, it was 
only natural that the Knoxville Young Men's Christian Association, with its 
more than sixty years' experience in working with men, should be seized with a 
burning desire to be of service to our men in uniform in this extreme crisis. It 
felt that its experience in previous wars would be of value in serving the men 
in this war, and so the task was accepted unhesitatingly. 

The most valuable contribution, which Knox County made to the Army Y. M. 
C. A., was in the sending of four women and forty-three men who gave their 
services to the boys in camp in this country and overseas. The photographs of 
twenty-five of them are shown on the opposite page. They are: 

(1) Fletcher Morgan; (2) Tyree C. Whitehurst; (3) Miss Ray Viola Wil- 
liams; (4) Robert G. Jefi^ries; (5) Creed F. Copeland; (6) A. W. Fisher; (7) 
B. G. Alexander; (8) Mrs. George W. Denny; (9) William G. Gilliam; (10) 
Noble B. Peake; (11) Robert L. Houston; (12) Crew Webb; (13) E. D. Lang- 
ley; (14) John Stewart French; (15) Alex. P. Watson; (16) Nathaniel Bennett 
White; (17) Cliff^ord D. Webster; (18) Lewis Albert Frost; (19) Edgar S. Lot- 
speich; (20) W. B. Mooney; (21) E. F. Eaton; (22) Albert Victor Young; (23) 
Alvin O. Rue; (24) Charles H. Newell; (25) L. S. Reynolds. 

During the summer of 1917, when the Third Tennessee Infantry was mobilized 
at Knoxville, the local organization tendered the use of its building and equip- 
ment for the benefit of the men. The offer was extended also to Colonel Gleason, 
who was then organizing the Second Tennessee Infantry. This offer was accept- 
ed by both Colonel Spence and Colonel Gleason for their men, and the local pro- 
gram was placed immediately upon a war basis. 

The office was used for the distribution of soldier mail and the lobby for the 
writing of letters on stationery which was gladly furnished the men free of 
charge. The use of the building soon became so general among the men that it 
was apparent the small office force could not furnish the proper supervision. In 
order to meet this need, those in authority made several points in the building 
regular posts for guard duty and rendered very valuable cooperation in the mat- 
ter of supervising the bath rooms and the swimming pool. No effort was made 
to keep a record of the number who availed themselves of this privilege, but it 
was noted by those on duty that a steady stream of men poured in and out of 
the buildmg and swarmed the lobby and writing room all hours of the day and 
night.

It was not long after this that train loads of men bound for Eastern ports of 
embarkation passed through the city almost daily. The Camp General Secretary 
of the Y. M. C. A. in each of the Southern cantonments was notified the local or- 
ganization would be glad to render whatever service possible to troops passing 
through Knoxville. This gave a remarkable opportunity, as the secretary on 
each train arranged for a stop-over so that the men might come to the Y. M. C. 
A. building for a shower bath or plunge in the pool. The local chapter of the 
Red Cross cooperated by furnishing some towels for the use of the men, and also 
in directing men to the building from the depot so that they might spend the 
night in case it was necessary to lay over between trains. 

In the summer of 1918 the actual program of the Army Y. M. C. A. came 
directly to Knoxville and the local "Y" was called upon to put it into effect 
with the "seven hundred fighting mechanics," who were in training at Chilhowee 
Park. The program was four-fold — physical, educational, social and religious. 
The educational being taken care of by the University of Tennessee, the Y. M. 
C. A. confined itself to the promotion of the other three features. This program 
included cjuite a variety of social entertainments, musicals, lectures, stunt nights, 
athletic nights, etc. Very commodious quarters were established in one of the 
buildings at the park where there were ample facilities for reading and writing. 
An athletic field, where outdoor group games were promoted, added to the pleas- 
ure of the men. In the promotion of the religious program it was desired to 
have the men as far as possible in touch with one of the local churches, but for 
the benefit of some who did not care to come to the city, religious services were 
conducted at the pai'k on Sunday and one evening each week. 

During the progress of the war, three campaigns for Y. M. C. A. finances 
were waged. The first of these was in August, 1917, and the amount secured was 
$12,.500. The second in November, 1917, resulted in the raising of .?2.5,000. In 
the third campaign, which was conducted under the auspices of the United War 
Work Committee, the Y. M. C. A. received fifty-nine per cent of the amount 
raised, $125,000. The total sum contributed in Knox County during the war for 
Y. M. C. A. work among the soldiers, sailors and marines was $110,000. 

It was not possible for the Y. M. C. A. activities to cease with the signing of 
the armistice, because the obligation was felt that this service must be continued 
to these men until the last one should be returned safely home after receiving 
his discharge. Quite a number of men reached Knoxville on trains late in the 
evening and necessarily had to remain here during the night in order to make 
connection the following morning. A special room was fitted up in the "Y" 
building and equipped with a number of cots where a comfortable sleeping place 
was furnished free for many hundred men passing thus through the city. Fur- 
thermore, a complimentary membership, entitling every discharged soldier or 
sailor to the full use of the privileges of the building, was extended to all former 
service men. Several hundred men availed themselves of this opportunity. 

Y. W. C. A. 

The Knoxville Y. W. C. A. sent four workers from its membership into camp 
and social welfare activities during the period of hostilities. They were Miss 
Emma Carson, who went to France in September, 1918; Miss Kate Carson, who 
had charge of the Hostess Houses at Toul and Brest, France, during the war and 
after the armistice; Mrs. Lytton Thomas, who was manager of the Hostess House 
at Camp Grant, Illinois; and Miss Frances West, who did special work among 
the working girls of the South Atlantic States. 

To care for the large number of girls who came to Knoxville to fill vacancies 
made by the calling of men into the service, the Y. W. C. A. enlarged its housing 
facilities, leasing a large 44-room house to furnish proper homes for them. It 
also pi-ovided training classes in bookkeeping, stenography and other subjects 
for 258 different girls during 1918. A great deal of social work was done for 
these girls and many of them were placed in positions that they were qualified to 
fill.

The Hostess House at Chilhowee Park was established and maintained for the 
700 mechanics in training there from July to November, 1918. As no appropria- 
tion could be obtained from the National War Council, contributions were solicited 
from the business men of Knoxville. The Y. W. C. A. committee, IVIrs. R. W. 
McCargo, Mrs. F. L. Fisher and Mrs. Will D. Wright, made a personal canvass 
to obtain funds for improving and equipping the building, while gifts and loans 
of furnishings were offered voluntarily. The house was made a real home for the 
soldiers, their wives and their relatives. Mrs. Minnie Waring was hostess in 
charge. 

Entertainments were given weekly by church committees, small parties were 
organized to promote the social life of the men, while the house was always open 
to them and their families. When influenza became epidemic, the Hostess House 
was made headquarters for the Red Cross nurses. On Sundays the Y. W. C. A. 
joined with the Y. M. C. A. in the religious service at the park for those who did 
not attend the churches in Knoxville. While the number of soldiers at Knoxville 
was very few in comparison with some cities, everything possible was done for 
their comfort while they were encamped here. 

To maintain its work, the Y. W. C. A. engaged in two campaigns. The first 
was held in December, 1917, and under the direction of Mrs. Lewis Tillman, pi'es- 
ident of the local organization, and Mrs. C. A. Perkins, chairman of the cam- 
paign, the sum of $4,294.67 was raised in one day for its local war work. In 
November, 1918, the Y. W. C. A. organization joined in the United War Work 
Campaign to raise $125,000 for welfare work. 

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS 

The Knights of Columbus, through its local council, played an active part in 
all war activities in Knox County. Many members of the council volunteered 
their services in the army and navy at the outset of hostilities, and at the close 
of the war there were more than 1.50 members in the service. Those who were 
disqualified or exempted from service did whatever was assigned them. Some 
were Four Minute Men, while others served on the selective service boards. 

When the drive for $100,000,000 was made by the seven allied organizations 
doing social service welfare work in the army and navy, the Knights of Colum- 
bus, through its representative, Edward F. Walsh, on the executive committee 
for East Tennessee, and James K. Middleton, on the executive board for Knox 
County, aided materially in making the campaign in Knox County successful. 
In this, as well as in all other public movements launched during the war for the 
purpose of sustaining the army and navy and for bringing victory to our coun- 
try, the committees of the Knights of Columbus cooperated cheerfully and will- 
ingly with other welfare, social and religious organizations of Knoxville. 

After the war was over, the local council established an employment bureau 
for the purpose of helping discharged service men. John T. O'Connor was in 
charge of it. This bureau continued in existence and did active work for more 
than a year after the declaration of the armistice. It was of great benefit in 
assisting men to find jobs and to become established in Knoxville. 

JEWISH WELFARE BOARD 

Cooperating with the War Department and the local military authorities in 
helping to administer the many small comforts to the man in service, especially 
the Jewish lad in khaki, the Knoxville branch of the National Jewish Welfare 
Board did valuable service in making the soldiers forget once in a while the 
rigors and discomforts of army life. It administered to men of all races and 
creeds, to the Catholic and the Protestant as well as to the Jew, to the negro as 
well as to the white soldier. But it watched especially over the Jewish boys 
away from home, who needed little attentions that only one versed in the Jewish 
religion and Jewish ways could give them. 

The Knoxville branch of the Jewish Welfare Board was organized soon after 
the outbreak of hostilities. The following officers were chosen: Rabbi Winick, 
chairman; Morris Bart, vice-chairman; Ben R. Winick, seci'etary. After Mr. 
Winick entered the service, Jacob J. Winick was chosen to fill his place. The 
local organizations had its hands full in administering to the boys in the service 
and to their families. At the University of Tennessee Training Camp and at 
Chilhowee Park, offices wei'e established to minister to the needs of the boys. 




426 



Dances and entertainments were given by the organization for the Jewish and 
non-Jewish boys. The Jewish homes of the city were thrown open to all soldiers, 
and on Jewish holidays the officers of the board saw to it that every Jewish home 
in Knoxville had at least one soldier in it. Workers from the local branch visited 
the camp at Fort Oglethorpe, George, as well as other nearby camps, and helped 
the work there. Religious services were held many times for the Jewish boys 
who were quartered there on duty. Stationery and supplies were furnished them 
and everything possible was done to make them feel that home was not far away. 
The local branch saw that arrangements for the entertainment of the boys in 
Jewish homes were made, suitable and abundant reading matter was furnished 
the local camps and speakers were brought to address the men. Visits were 
made daily to hospitals and workers saw to it that the dependents of Jewish boys 
in the service did not suffer at home. 

WAR LIBRARY SERVICE 

Knox County's part in the nation-wide movement to provide library service 
and reading matter for soldiers and sailors centered in Lawson McGhee Li- 
brary, the free public library of Knoxville. From the early autumn of 1918, to 
the summer of 1919, the library served as a collecting and distributing center 
for books and magazines, which were sent to Camps Sevier, Greenleaf and Gordon 
in the United States, and to camps overseas; to the Y. W. C. A. Hostess House 
and the Y. M. C. A. headciuarters in Chilhowee Park, Knoxville, and to the local 
canteen of the American Red Cross; and through the Y. M. C. A. to the local 
soldiers' barracks, the Students' Army Training Corps at the University of Ten- 
nessee and at Knoxville College. In eighteen months, local committees, assisted 
by the staff of Lawson McGhee Library, collected, sorted, prepared for circulation, 
packed and shipped approximately 12,000 books and 40,000 magazines. 

The first effort on the part of any local organization to provide reading matter 
for the soldiers was made in October, 1918, by the Knoxville branch of the South- 
ern Association of College Women, when it appointed Mrs. Joel Tyler chairman 
of a committee to collect current magazines and forward them to the soldiers. 

The public responded so heartily to the appeal for reading matter that the 
committee of the Southern Association of College Women found itself almost 
overwhelmed with both magazines and books; consequently, in January, 1918, ihe 
Knoxville Women's Committee of the Council of Defense assumed responsibility 
for collecting all books and all magazines more than a month old. The Council 
of Defense immediately began to plan an extensive book campaign, which, in 
cooperation with the national Library War Service headquarters, it conducted 
during the week of March 11 to 18, inclusive. Miss Mary Boyce Temple was ap- 
pointed chairman of the book campaign; Miss Laura Thornburgh, vice-chairman; 
Mrs. T. P. Miller, chairman of collection; Mrs. W. A. Knabe, chairman of pub- 
licity and the ward chairmen of the Council of Defense were captains of solicita- 
tion. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, schools, Parent-Teacher Associations, churches 
and clubs cooperated heartily and effectively in soliciting books, most of which 
were collected and taken to the library by the Girls' Motor Corps and by laun- 
dry and delivery wagons, the use of which was generously loaned by laundries 
and merchants. As a result of this campaign, not fewer than 10,000 books and 
3.5,000 magazines were gathered at Lawson McGhee Library to be sent to camp 
libraries.. 

Meanwhile it became apparent that some more systematic arrangement was 
desirable in providing reading matter for troop trains. In September, 1918, 
therefore, Mrs. E. H. Saunders accepted the chairmanship of the Knoxville Li- 
brary War Service Committee, the purpose of which was to supply clean, 
recent copies of popular magazines to soldiers and sailors quartered in or pass- 
ing through Knoxville. The particular problem of this committee was to so 
systematize its solicitation and collection of magazines as to have constantly on 
hand a sufficient quantity to meet any demand; and to be able to deliver them ^o 
the places where they were needed on very brief notice. Though the closing of 
the schools on account of the influenza epidemic made it difficult to secure enough 
magazines, the committee, when the armistice was signed, had collected and dis- 
tributed to soldiers in Knoxville about 3,000 current magazines; and they con- 
tinued this work without cessation until thei'e was no further need of it.

THE FOUR MINUTE MEN 



The Four Minute Men, a nation-wide association of volunteer speakers, was 
organized June 16, 1917, for the purpose of assisting the various departments 
of the government in the work of national defense during the continuance of the 
war, by presenting messages on subjects of vital national importance to motion- 
picture audiences during the intermission. The subject matter was prepared and 
the speaking was directed from Washington under authority of the government. 

The Knox County division of the Four Minute Men was organized in Septem- 
ber, 1917, to further this patriotic work. The following members, who served 
during the war, were recognized and commended individually by the government 
for their work: 

J. Pike Powers, Jr., chairman; H. R. Ryder, secretary; J. H. Anderson, J. 
Arthur Atchley, C. M. Boyer, R. A. Brown, H. V. Carson, Charles T. Cates, Jr., 
Allen Frierson, John W. Green, I. L. Graves, George E. Helm, Harry Hyman, S. O. 
Houston, Fred C. Houk, Henry Hudson, C. Raleigh Harrison, Sam E. Hill, J. 
Alvin Johnson, James G. Johnson, C. P. Jones, W. T. Kennerly, Daniel J. Kelly, 
John M. Kelly, W. E. Miller, A. E. Mitchell, R. E. Mooney, Malcolm McDermott, 
Norman B. Morrell, Melville Melendy, B. C. Ogle, Roy E. Vale, E. G. Stooksbury, 
K. E. Steinmetz, L. D. Smith, John M. Thornburgh, Hugh M. Tate, Horace Van- 
Deventer, William P. Washburn, Robert P. Williams, J. Bailey Wray, Roscoe 
Word, Edward F. Walsh, D. C. Webb, Will D. Wright. T. Asbury Wright, O. L. 
White. 

The topics spoken upon by the Four Minute Men were matters of national 
importance connected with the war plans of the government. They were as- 
signed by the director in Washington for a given period of time, usually from one 
to four weeks. The topic to be used at any given time was determined by a con- 
sideration of what was uppermost at the time. Many false rumors, the result of 
enemy propaganda, also were corrected and explained by the Four Minute Men. 

The aid of the Four Minute Men in the Liberty Loan, Red Cross and other 
patriotic drives was invaluable. The importance of participation in them was 
deeply impressed upon the minds of all audiences. Addresses were made not 
only at the theaters, but at many popular gatherngs in the city and county. The 
speakers were in great demand, and they always responded to the calls upon their 
time and their services. They proved of invaluable aid in popularizing the war 
to the mass of people, and in explaining its causes and purposes. The efforts of 
the government found through them a most valuable publicity arm. 

The work of the Four Minute Men was enhanced greatly by the cooperation of 
the managers of the local theaters, who gave them every possible assistance and 
courtesy. The speakers, who made almost nightly addresses, delivered their ap- 
peals during the intermissions between i-eels. Pastors of churches, principals of 
schools and managers of public buildings also cooperated in this important gov- 
ernment work by opening their doors to these speakers. The effectiveness of the 
appeals was heightened by the time limit set upon the addresses and the definite 
program outlined from Washington.

THE WOMEN'S CLUBS 

The women of Knoxville gave themselves unselfishly and wholeheartedly to 
every war movement. They not only supported the larger organizations, like the 
Red Cross and the five Liberty Loans, but they also carried on their humanitarian 
activities through their clubs and patriotic chapters. The programs of peace 
were laid aside, and only war work was done or discussed. The clubs became 
work shops or clearing houses for ideas on how to help most eff^ectively the 
national war program. 

Three organizations especially were active in this war work. They were 
Ossoli Circle, the oldest woman's club in the South and the training school for 
the women workers of Knoxville ; the Knoxville Unit of the Woman's Committee, 
Council of National Defense ; and Bonny Kate Chapter, Daughters of the Amer- 
ican Revolution. 

OSSOLI CIRCLE 

This club began its war work by a call for a mass meeting of all women de- 
siring to do necessary hospital sewing for soldiers. It was the pioneer organiza- 
tion in Knoxville in the making of hospital garments and in knitting. In addition 
to financing itself, the club organized 35 auxiliaries in the city and county. Upon 
recjuest of the local chapter of the Red Cross, this work was transferred to it 
and became the Central Garment Department of its organization. 

On .June 5, 1917, Ossoli organized the first patriotic parade held in Knoxville 
after the declaration of war. The occasion was to honor the men and boys who 
dedicated on that day their lives to their country's service by registering for 
military duty. Ossoli later participated in the Liberty Loan and War Savings 
Stamp parades. 

After the transfer of garment making to the Red Cross, the members of the 
club took up Belgian Relief work and carried it on for fifteen months. Under the 
chairmanship of Mrs. Charles T. Cates, .Jr., who was assisted by several commit- 
tees, five boxes, containing 3,372 new garments, and two boxes, holding towels, 
pajamas, and other articles of clothing, were shipped to the Commission on Re- 
lief of the Belgians. Later the club sent eight barrels of shoes and 39 boxes 
of good clothing, numbering 11,355 pieces. More than $2,000 was raised and ex- 
pended for Belgian relief and garment making. 

During April and August, 1918, two receptions were tendered to drafted men 
who were leaving for training camps. A reception also was given to Governor 
Rye and Major Rutledge Smith upon the occasion of their visit in February, 191S, 
in the interest of war woi'k. The Woman's Club building was off'ered generously 
free of all charge for all patriotic purposes, and freely it was used during the 
war. There were held farewell meetings, there wreaths were twined to throw 
around the departing soldiers, there garments were sewed, woolen goods knitted, 
and there the glad welcoming feasts were partly prepared. The service flag of 
Ossoli Circle contains the names of 41 men, one of whom, Lieutenant Carrick Yea- 
ger, made the supreme sacrifice. 

THE WOMAN'S COUNCIL 

The Knoxville Unit of the Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense, 
was organized in the spring of 1917 with the following officers: Mrs. George F. 
Mellen, chairman; Miss Mary Boyce Temple, vice-chairman; Miss Laura Thorn- 
burgh, secretary; Mrs. Morris Deitch, treasurer. The city organization was com- 
pleted by the appointment of 17 department chairmen and the formation through- 
out the city of 23 units for war work. 

These committees and their chairmen were: Food Conservation, Mrs. A. P. 
Lockett; Food Production, Mrs. W. L. Morris, Mrs. Faulkner; Protection of Wo- 
men Workers, Mrs. W. M. Goodman, Mrs. S. P. Wallace; Child Welfare, Mrs. 
Horace VanDeventer, Mrs. Alfred Sanford ; Conservation of Moral and Spiritual 
Forces, Mrs. Lewis "Tillman, Miss Cornelia Cowan; Social Service, Mrs. R. E. L.

Mountcastle, Mrs. A. H. Dailey; Red Cross, Mrs. N. E. Logan, Mrs. Lena B. War- 
ner; Medical Service, Mrs. Chas. T. Gates, .Jr.; Allied Relief, Miss Kate White, 
Mrs. Ben Boyd; Courses of Instruction, Mrs. C. A. Perkins, Mrs. Emma L. Rice; 
Educational Propaganda, Mrs. L. T). Tyson, Mrs. Hu L. McClung; Finance, Mrs. 
Walter Nash, Mrs. H. C. Milner; Publicity, Mrs. T. P. Miller, Miss Florence Fair; 
Speakers' Bureau, Mrs. C. E. Lucky, Mrs. R. L. Cunningham; Comfort Associa- 
tion, Mrs. Sam G. Shields, Mrs. Daisy Woodruff Meek. 

Among the patriotic work that was done by the Knoxville Unit through these 
committees was the following: (1) Four campaigns for the signing of Hoover 
food cards were held, resulting in the signing of 19,000 cards in the city and 
county. (2) Registration of women for war work on October 13, 1917, about 
2,200 signifying their willingness. (3) The sale of a special edition of one of 
the local daily newspapers, from which about $1,100 was realized. This money 
was used in war work. (4) Christmas boxes of "sweets and smokes" were 
sent to Fort Oglethorpe and money contributed to home charities. (.5) A con- 
servation exchange was maintained at which excess products were sold and a mar- 
ket made for home-made articles of every kind. (6) About 1.5,000 Hoover Kit- 
chen Cards, urging economy, were placed in the hands of housewives in the city 
and county. (7) Wool was purchased and socks knitted at the council's head- 
ciuarters. These were sent to soldiers at the camps. (8) The members of the 
unit took part in the parades and sales of Liberty Loan bonds and War Savings 
Stamps. (9) War food demonstrations were given at the council's headquarters. 
(10) All members gave their assistance in the collection of books and magazines 
for camp libraries. (11) The War Garden movement was enthusiastically sup- 
ported by the council. 

The Knoxville unit was always at the call of the state organization, and when- 
ever any kind of patriotic or war work was needed, it rallied and responded un- 
hesitatingly to the demand of the hour. 

BONNY KATE CHAPTER 

Like all other organizations of the city. Bonny Kate Chapter, Daughters of 
the American Revolution, engaged in patriotic work throughout the eighteen 
months this nation was at war with Germany. Its members worked in the chap- 
ter, in the other clubs, and in all patriotic movements that furthered the war. 
Through the enthusiasm and earnestness of the regent, Miss Mary Boyce Temple, 
the chapter was an active force in war work. 

Flag day was obsei-ved June 14, 1917, and four months later, October 7, a 
splendid religious-patriotic celebration was held at the Bijou Theatre upon the 
occasion of the chapter's twenty-fourth birthday. Captain Pierre Loriot, of the 
French Embassy, Major Benton, commandant at the University of Tennessee, 
and Captain Woodbury were the speakers. Every organization of the city was 
represented on the stage. This meeting, together with others that were held 
later, aroused the war spirit in the city and county. 

In February, 1918, a first aid class of 2.5 was organized, and in June another 
member formed a class of young girls to knit for the soldiers. Another knitting 
class, formed by the regent, outfitted the entire crew of the Dahlgren, one of 
our naval craft, on which there were two Knoxville boys. They were provided 
with sweaters, wristlets, and mufflers or helmets. Another box of knitted goods 
was sent to the battleship Tennessee, another to the il7th Infantry at Camp 
Sevier, while two others went to the navy. 

The chapter aided in the garden movement, in making bandages, hospital gar- 
ments and trench candles for the Red Cross, and in working at the canteen at 
the Southern Station. The chapter also contributed liberally from its funds to 
support these organizations. It gave its active support and aid to the Woman's 
Council of National Defense in the registration of women, in the distribution of 
Hoover pledge cards and in the campaign for reserve nurses. Its members were 
active in all the Liberty Loan and Red Cross campaigns. The chapter adopted 
a French war orphan, while its members individually gave their financial support 
to the adoption of several others. At Chilhowee Park, Bonny Kate Chapter was 
one of the hostesses at the Y. W. C. A. Hostess Hou.se.
